GET INVOLVED
The Queensland Government is taking strong action on climate change and is investing in projects that are delivering results for Queenslanders. In the next decade, we are aiming to reduce emissions by 30% below 2005 levels, and to power half of our state’s energy needs with renewables. By 2050, we want to achieve zero net emissions—where any remaining emissions are offset, for example by storing carbon in the landscape.
