Australian Liberal Party Walks Away From 2050 Net-Zero Commitment
The Liberal Party has formally abandoned its commitment to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, ending weeks of internal clashes that have exposed deep ideological fractures and placed deputy leader Sussan Ley under pressure.
Senior Liberal sources confirmed the shift after a lengthy shadow cabinet meeting on Nov. 13.
The party voted to abandon the long-held target but keep Australia in the 2015 Paris Agreement, which obliges countries to steadily increase emission cuts.
