These new targets will ensure Victoria seizes the enormous economic opportunity climate change action presents – generating $63 billion of benefit to the economy and helping to create thousands of jobs. We’re also ensuring all government operations are powered with 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2025. To achieve this, the Government is taking strong action across Victoria - delivering zero-emissions transport, helping farmers cut emissions, storing carbon in our landscape and driving down emissions in the waste sector through the circular economy. Victoria is decarbonising at the fastest rate in the country, cutting its emissions by more than any other state since 2014. This ambitious target builds on the Government’s record success to date – having already cut the state’s emissions by 32.3 per cent below 2005 levels. Minister for Climate Action Lily D’Ambrosio today formalised the target under Victoria’s Climate Change Act 2017. The Andrews Labor Government is setting one of the most ambitious emissions reduction targets in the world – cutting Victoria’s emissions by 75–80 per cent by 2035.
