Govt to push for 2050 climate tech target

The Australian government will look at implementing a technology investment target to avoid committing to an internationally imposed net-zero emissions target by 2050. The government said the new target would be the most effective way for the nation to meet the Paris commitment. Nationals MPs are against Australia's commitment to the target over fears it would impact manufacturing jobs. The new plan will be presented at the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow, Scotland. About 81 countries have so far adopted the internationally imposed 2050 zero emissions target. Image: News Corp Australia Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
