Community Sector Statement on 2035 Climate Change Pollution Reduction Target

ALHR is proud to join with 88 community sector organisations calling on the Australian Government to aim for net zero emissions by 2035 to reduce the harmful impacts of Climate Change.
We must keep global warming at 1.5C. To do our fair share as a country, the science argues that Australia should aim to reduce emissions to net zero by 2035. Waiting until 2050 is too late.
ACOSS Australian Council of Social Service CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie AO said, “The future and wellbeing of people in Australia is squarely in the government’s hands. Adopting a strong science-based 2035 target and more equitable and inclusive climate change policies is crucial.”
