New South Wales will halve carbon emissions by 2030

Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro announced their government will halve carbon emissions by 2030 to help mitigate climate change.

New South Wales was one of the most affected states by the bushfires in 2020 along with Victoria and Queensland.

Experts, advocates, and community organisations such as Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action welcome the agreement, and now they want the Morrison government to step up on climate change.
