Andrews govt emissions cuts must limit warming to 1.5°C to protect Victorian communities from climate impacts
Friends of the Earth says emissions cuts to limit global warming to 1.5°C will be needed from the Andrews government in order to protect communities from dangerous climate impacts.
The group’s call comes as Independent Expert Panel advice on Victoria’s first interim Emissions Reduction Targets is tabled in the Parliament.
The panel, led by former Federal climate minister Greg Combet, recommends the Andrews government reduce emissions by 32-39 percent below 2005 levels in 2025 and 45-60 below 2005 levels in 2030.
Friends of the Earth say greater ambition is needed from the state government when it comes to cutting emissions.
