‘Get on with it’: Australia already has low-carbon technology and Coalition should embrace it, scientists say
Technology and engineering academy tells government not to wait for a ‘miracle’ and aim for net zero emissions now
Australia’s leading scientists and engineers have told the Morrison government the technologies needed to make significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions already exist – and the Coalition should immediately implement a national net zero policy.
In an explicit response to the government’s “technology, not taxes” approach to reducing emissions, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering has released a position statement calling on the government to “prioritise the immediate deployment of existing mature, low-carbon technologies which can make deep cuts to high-emitting sectors before 2030”.
