A new report by the Business Council of Australia predicts an $890 billion boost to economic activity and the creation of 195,000 jobs over the next five decades as a result of dramatically cutting carbon emissions.

The nation's business community is urging the government to adopt a far more ambitious short-term carbon emissions reduction target, if the nation is to have any chance of reaching net zero by 2050.

The intervention comes as the Liberal and National parties negotiate over a net-zero by 2050 target, with warnings from Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce that any transition to a cleaner economy cannot come at the expense of industries in regional Australia. The BCA, which represents some of Australia's highest emitters such as energy and mining companies, noted it was areas such as the electricity sector that would have to do the heavy lifting.
