GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
298. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Climate Action:
I refer to Western Australia's
emissions of 91.8 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in the National
Greenhouse Accounts 2019 and the government's
commitment to setting an interim target regarding emission reductions in the coming
months. What percentage of the 91.8 tonnes of CO2 equivalent of WA's
emissions are attributed to WA emissions?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by
the Minister for Climate Action.
The Department of Water and
Environmental Regulation is developing an estimate of greenhouse gas emissions
from operation of government agencies and government trading enterprises.
