Australia's climate change mitigation policy towards the Paris Agreement

In the world, member states are moving toward the Paris Agreement's 2050target. In Australia, a resource-rich country, natural disasters (eg, wildfires, floods, droughts, etc.) have become increasingly serious in recent years, and public interest in national climate change policies has increased. Australia, on the other hand, has the second highest per capita CO2 emissions in the world after the United States and is a major exporter of coal and liquid natural gas (LNG), and its domestic electricity supply depends heavily on cheap fossil fuels. As a result, the country has a political background in which drastic reduction of greenhouse gases cannot be said to be straightforward. In this article, we have discussed Australia's approach to climate change legislation and its challenges to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
