Manufacturing sectors identified as critical in Australia’s climate strategy
The Australian Government has placed manufacturing at the centre of its Net Zero Plan, releasing new sector strategies that outline how industry and resources will transition to net zero emissions by 2050 while remaining competitive and creating new economic opportunities.
The plan, published by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), sets a 2035 target of reducing emissions by 62 to 70 per cent below 2005 levels.
According to the government, the strategy aims to ensure a fair and efficient transition that supports households, businesses, and industry while generating new jobs.
