Country: Australia
Pledge iisd: Julie Bishop, Australia’s foreign minister, begins by defending her country’s 5% emissions reduction target, which she describes as “ambitious”. She says that the Direct Action Plan constitutes “serious domestic action” to meet this target. This is the controversial plan intended to replace the country’s abolished carbon tax. Australia will reveal its post 2020-target as part of a review of its international target, she says. She added that Australia will sign onto an HFC Declaration to reduce these short-term pollutants (rtcc.org)
