NET ZERO EMISSIONS —
2050 TARGET
22. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the state government's
aspiration of net zero emissions by 2050.
Has any analysis been done on —
(a) a net zero transition for Western
Australia;
(b) Western Australia's
emission projections; and
(c) marginal abatement cost curves?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(a)–(c) The
development of the state climate policy includes consideration of measures to
lay the foundations for Western Australia's transition to net zero
emissions by 2050. It is anticipated that the state climate policy will outline
a range of actions, including analysis of opportunities for cost-effective
greenhouse gas abatement across the economy.
