Net-Zero Emissions Advisory Body's Recommendations Reviewed

On November 7, 2024, the Senate's Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources reviewed reports from the Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB) on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Key recommendations included establishing a national carbon budget and a 2035 target of reducing emissions to 50% below 2005 levels. The discussion also addressed the challenges of translating scientific advice into actionable policy, particularly for high-emission sectors like oil and gas. The session called for coordinated government efforts and highlighted the need for innovation and collaboration with Indigenous partners.
