Progress of the Kyoto Protocol
Australia remains on track to meet its Kyoto target. Updated inventory data for 2007-08 and projections data for the remaining four years of the first commitment period confirm that Australia is expected to meet its Kyoto target without needing to purchase international credits. Australia’s emissions are expected to reach an average of 583 Mt CO2-e per annum over 2008-12, which is 107 per cent of 1990 levels.
