Australia has less than 10 years to drastically scale up emissions reduction efforts as part of a global push to halt the devastating impacts of rising temperatures, a major new Climate Council report has warned.
The report urges Australia to cut emissions by 75 per cent before 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2035 - while forecasting that global average temperatures will exceed 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels during the 2030s.

The first of around 1,200 seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands are arriving in South Australia today to cover critical worker shortages and help support thousands of local jobs in the state’s agriculture and horticulture industries.
Just over 200 workers will arrive today from Tonga and will be transported directly to the specially configured Paringa Resort in the Riverland to undertake two weeks quarantine before beginning the vital work.
