BERLIN, 10 Juil: Australia is joining the \u201cclimate club\u201d backed by the Group of Seven major economies to take more ambitious action in tackling global warming, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Monday.
\nThe club was first proposed by Nobel Prize winner William Nordhaus as a way of getting countries to voluntarily set high targets for curbing climate change and then require trading partners to meet those same standards. Such moves are opposed by major emerging economies like China, the world\u2019s biggest emitter of greenhouse gas.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re very pleased to join the climate club because we are ambitious and we also see that this isn\u2019t just the right thing to do by the environment, but this is also the right thing to do by jobs and by our economy,\u201d Albanese said at a news conference in Berlin after meeting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who made the idea a key pillar of his G7 presidency last year.
\n\u201cOne thing we can do is to cooperate and learn off each other, because you can\u2019t address climate change as just a national issue. It has to be by definition, a global response,\u201d Albanese said.
\nAlbanese\u2019s government committed last year to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by the end of the decade \u2014 almost double the previous target. In March, Parliament passed a law requiring Australia\u2019s biggest greenhouse gas polluters reduce their emissions or pay for carbon credits. (AP)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
