emissions target will require Government to demonstrate leadership by adopting zero emissions technologies across all operations.
(4) The zero emissions target for Government was adopted under the ACT Climate Change Strategy 2019-25 (the Strategy), released in September 2019.
(5) Government made the decision.
(6) The decision to adopt the Zero Emissions Government Framework will help meet the ACT’s 2025 and 2030 emissions targets, by driving greater abatement in preference to offsets purchases.
The decision not to purchase carbon offsets for Government operations will not have an impact on the Territory-wide emissions targets. The methodology for measuring ACT emissions is determined under the Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act 2010. This methodology does not count the purchase of carbon offsets towards the achievement of the ACT’s legislated emissions reduction targets.
