Australia has submitted its 8th National Communication on Climate Change and 5th Biennial Report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on 2022 December 22, says the Department of Climate Change, Energy and Water.
The documents give a national overview of Australia’s progress in fulfilling its UNFCCC commitments to reduce emissions and adapt to and deal with the effects of climate change.
The Communication offers a thorough update on Australia’s climate change commitments under the UNFCCC, including state, territorial, and municipal government initiatives.
Meanwhile, the fifth Biennial Report includes data on Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions and trends, forecasts for and projections against the 2030 target set by the Department.
