CLIMATE CHANGE — EMISSIONS TARGET
457. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Climate Action:
I refer to the minister's
foreword in the Western Australian climate policy, which states —
Western Australia's
greenhouse gas emissions are rising, and are expected to grow in the short to
medium term under business as usual.
(1) What are Western Australia's expected
greenhouse gas emissions for 2025, and what data is this based on?
(2) Will the
minister please table the modelling or data containing this information?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the
Minister for Climate Action.
(1)–(2) Australia's
national emissions projections are compiled by the commonwealth Department of
Industry, Science, Energy and Resources to
provide sector-specific analysis of factors driving emissions at a national
level. The commonwealth does not publish state and territory emissions
projections.
