Over 350 companies are calling for more ambitious net-zero targets after an analysis from Deloitte Access Economics found the Australian economy could be $370 billion (US$240 billion) larger by 2035 if the nation adopts a 75 percent emissions reduction target.

According to the Deloitte modelling, setting a 75 percent reduction target would support an extra 69,000 jobs every year between 2025 and 2035 compared with continuing under current policy settings.
