Australia’s climate policies have been ranked dead last out of 64 countries and is still among the worst offenders for emissions, renewables and energy use.
Australia’s “technology investment roadmap” as Prime Minister Scott Morrison has called it, has been deemed insufficient to decarbonise the economy, cut fossil fuel use and promote renewables.
Australia has since been criticised for bringing to the recent Glasgow climate summit a 2050 target of net-zero emissions that involve no new policies or plans.
