Published 5 months ago
Description
The Climate Change Minister says we're still at the table for the Paris Agreement, despite the targets being challenging.
The Coalition rejected all three recommendations made to it by the Climate Change Commission yesterday.
It means it won't be including international aviation and shipping emissions in its 2050 reduction target.
Simon Watts told Ryan Bridge they remain committed to the Paris Climate Agreement and are still part of the global conversation.
He says they're challenging targets in reality, but they have the intent of hitting them.
