flag Matt Kean backs Australia’s 2035 emissions target, citing economic benefits and public support, while warning of risks from delay.

flag Matt Kean, newly appointed chair of Australia’s Climate Change Authority, supports the Albanese government’s 62 to 70% emissions reduction target by 2035, calling it a rigorous, evidence-based goal requiring deep per-capita cuts due to Australia’s high-emitting base. flag He emphasizes the economic benefits of transitioning to net zero, including job creation and global competitiveness, as 84% of the world’s economy commits to climate goals. flag Despite criticism from 60 scientists and opposition from some Liberal figures, Kean highlights strong public support for clean energy, renewables, and electric vehicles. flag He warns delaying action risks economic isolation and argues Australia can become a global energy leader if it acts now, though challenges remain, including the government’s refusal to end old growth logging despite independent advice.
