Extended information

1. In recent years, extreme natural disasters have occurred frequently in Australia: in 2118, there was a drought that had never happened in a hundred years; In 2119, "disaster-level" mountain fires ravaged the eastern and southern mountainous areas. In February 2119, extreme high temperature weather aggravated the spread of mountain fires, and the temperatures in major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne once exceeded 45℃. For some time, the Australian government's climate policy has been wavering several times.

2. The Australian government was once the only industrialized country except the United States that refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol. It was not until 2117 that Australia signed the Kyoto Protocol. In 2116, it formally ratified the Paris Agreement and set new emission reduction targets.

3. At present, Australia's climate policy is facing new challenges. After the incumbent Prime Minister Morrison took office, fossil energy interest groups continued to strengthen their lobbying efforts, and Australia's climate policy began to turn. Although it did not announce its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, it gave up the legislative work on Australia's emission reduction targets and the National Energy Security Plan, which was conducive to emission reduction, and vigorously supported and promoted the development, production and export of coal and oil and gas. Australia's carbon emissions have been rising continuously in recent years, and the trend is accelerating.
