It’s great that Australia is making some moves on climate with this new emissions deal, but honestly, 2050 just feels way too far off. We need more aggressive targets *now* if we’re going to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, especially for vulnerable Pacific nations that are already feeling the heat. It’s also frustrating that Albanese is only responding because of pressure from other countries—he should be leading on climate, not playing catch up. I hope this deal is just a first step and not the end of the conversation. We can’t afford to wait any longer!
