Our electricity sector remains Australia&#8217;s single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions &#8211; accounting for 35% last year.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the rollout of renewables such as wind turbines and more recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/calc5\/\">solar power systems<\/a>, our electricity sector emissions still show growth of 46% between 1990 and 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The Climate Council&#8217;s submission offers 9 recommendations to remedy this issue and to ensure Australia meets its climate commitment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to achieving 50% renewable energy by 2030, which would also create more than 28,000 jobs nationally on a net basis, it recommends the total phasing out of fossil fueled based electricity generation by 2040.<\/p>\n<h2>Fossil Fuels &#8211; No Subsidies For You<\/h2>\n<p>It also urges the cessation of fossil fuel subsidies, with the money saved to support a transition to renewable energy. Additionally, the submission advises against any further policy or funding support for any new fossil fuel power plants or supply infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Council advocates a price (or similar constraint) on emissions, increased transparency in climate change related tracking data, plus continued funding for key climate-related research organisations, including CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.<\/p>\n<p>Other recommendations and the full submission <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/uploads\/961d065033c28734d9b18bc20f0aa04d.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Federal Government\u2019s climate review is a critical opportunity to turn Australia from a laggard to a leader, putting in place policies to drive down emissions,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/climate-review-submission-calls-for-urgent-climate-and-energy-action-in-australia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our submission is a high level roadmap for the Federal Government to finally bring Australia in line with nations who are advancing climate progress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Submissions relating to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.environment.gov.au\/climate-change\/review-climate-change-policies\/discussion-paper-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">review of Australia\u2019s climate change policies<\/a> based on a discussion paper released late in 2016 closed last Friday.
