CANBERRA, April 21 (Xinhua) -- A massive solar farm proposed for northern Australia would reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 480 million tons, an environmental assessment has found. The renewable energy company Sun Cable recently lodged its environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Australi...
Reducing Australia's emission levels to a level suggested by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 0 60% below 1990 - appears unachievable with measures available to us now. Research and development is required across emission sectors to find new ways of reducing emissions to achieve a ...
Australia says the world needs to do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Urgent and ambitious action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is needed if we are to pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in accordance with the Paris Agreement13. Current Australian and global emission reductions are not sufficient, and Australia’s curren...
The first challenge relates to the continuing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that generate the changes to climate. Australia's National Greenhouse Gas Inventory estimates that agriculture produces about one-quarter of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions (including land clearing). The ...
Emissions were up in every sector except electricity where they fell 4.2 percent and land use, which was down 5.2 percent. Bill Hare, director of Climate Analytics, said the results meant Australia was not on track to meet its Paris Agreement commitment to reduce emissions by between 26 and ...
--Indonesia and Australia acknowledge that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a global challenge. We share ambition to address this challenge through cooperation and collaboration to develop, finance, deploy, and share affordable low emissions technologies and support infrastructure that will a...

“We forecast that energy efficiency will deliversomething like three-quarters of the greenhouse gas emissions reductions overthe next 20 years. So in the short term energy efficiency is the main way thatwe reduce greenhouse gas emissions but oftentimes it is not so importantlystressed in the discu...
There is growing support, both within Australia and internationally, for substantial changes to the way rural land particularly farmland is managed, in an effort to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas abatement is part of the pressure that is redefining agricultural practices and the ...
