WHAT IF WE DO SIGN UP? ISN’T IT JUST A NUMBER?

- DR FINKEL SAYS:

Is a child who dreams of winning Olympic gold ambitious? Not if she doesn’t turn up for training. You would only call her ambitious if she has a dream, commits to a plan, and trains at every opportunit­y.

Targets need to be accompanie­d by actions.

In the Australian government’s Low Emissions Technology Investment Roadmap, we have a number of cost and time targets, accompanie­d by initiative­s to help industry achieve them

The more successful we are at globally limiting climate change, the better off our farmers will be and the healthier our coral reefs. Our industries and exporters will produce products for the new economy that will contribute to national economic growth.

And it is easier to share the benefits equitably if our economy is strong and growing.
