Australia’s most senior Anglican Church official believes politicians may have “misread” the mood for strong action to tackle climate change.
Anglican Primate Philip Freier is among several religious leaders who have penned a letter to the Government and Opposition urging them to adopt ambitious post-2020 emissions cuts.
“We are pleased to see the Government acknowledges the importance of Australia contributing to a strong and effective global agreement in Paris,” the letter to the Government read.
“However this needs to be matched by robust policies.”
The religious leaders suggest an emissions cut of 40 per cent from 1990 levels by 2025 and 80 per cent by 2030.
