Carbon credits must be scrutinised – and none more so than credits for taking grazing animals off arid rangelands.
- Professor, Australian National University
For Australia to shift to a net zero economy, its big polluters need to cut emissions. A get-out clause buried in the policy makes it unlikely that they will, and the result will be devastating.
More must be done to ensure the Albanese government truly delivers the emissions reductions it has promised.
Our new analysis suggests the vast majority of carbon credits granted for regrowing native forests either has not occurred, or would have occurred anyway.
Labor has promised a 43% cut in Australia’s emissions by 2030 and a high-integrity carbon credit market is vital to reaching this goal.
