Reducing fossil methane emissions today can have a measurable impact on warming within the next decade. This submission to the Climate Change Authority explores how Australia can accelerate methane reductions.
ATSE's submission outlines how New South Wales can accelerate the transition to net zero by strengthening innovation, investment and collaboration to scale low-emissions technologies and build the systems needed for a competitive, resilient economy.
Our 2035 emissions-reduction target will only be achieved through the urgent application of an evidence-based approach grounded in climate science, the most effective and practical technologies, and the needs of the national population and economy.
Australia’s biosecurity system plays a central role in protecting the country’s economy, environment and food systems, and there are opportunities to strengthen its effectiveness in managing increasingly complex supply chains, evolving production systems and climate-driven risk.
ATSE calls for the Australian Government to provide funding to extend the Elevate program for additional scholars, ensuring the continued operation of an evidence-based program with an exceptional track record of reducing gender-based barriers in Australian STEM education.
The 2026 Basin Plan Review is a critical opportunity to strengthen the Plan through a more integrated and evidence-based approach, supported by stronger governance, improved use of science, data and knowledge, and the meaningful incorporation of First Nations knowledge Systems.
