United Kingdom High Commissioner Vicki Treadell is urging Australia to confirm a more ambitious climate target ahead of the COP26 summit in Glasgow.
Treadell has described the Morrison Government’s current target of a 28 per cent reduction in emissions as “inadequate,” and would ideally like to see Australia match the global benchmark of 50 per cent, with many countries even pledging net zero.
COP26 will begin on the 31st of October, and is being described as the most important meeting on international climate change discussion since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015
