The Australian Government has released a statement announcing its support for the new climate action deal adopted at the COP26 Glasgow summit this weekend. 9News

The Morrison Government has called the results of the finalisation of the Paris Rulebook "positive", saying it is particularly in favour of the outcomes on international carbon markets and a standardised transparency framework.

"Australia's emissions reporting and transparency is the gold standard and we expect all major emitters to display similar levels of transparency." At the summit Australia also joined the Glasgow Breakthroughs Initiative, which sets global goals to make clean technologies the most affordable and accessible option before 2030."This initiative is a strong international endorsement of our practical, technology-led approach," the statement reads.

The Australian Government has therefore committed to investing more than $21 billion in the next generation of low emissions technologies, to drive up to $120 billion of total public and private investment in Australia by 2030.

Really!!!! Guess we're definitely on election mode now. They have no policy & all they say is technology will take care of it. Another fluff piece by 9

. Sorry but EVERYONE knows the LNP have ignored the scientific advice and have fought hard against any real and urgent climate change action for over a DECADE now. Journalists - please hold them to account, and against the science, not their flimsy policies.
