The Federal Government is due to set Australia’s 2035 climate target by September – a decision that will shape the future of every Australian.
A stronger target will keep Australians safer from climate disasters like floods, fires and heatwaves, unlock economic opportunities in clean industries, and enhance our regional security.
A weaker target means more destructive climate extremes, more economic disruption, and catastrophic impacts on communities and ecosystems.
So what does the science say our 2035 climate target should be? And what will it take to get the strongest possible target locked in?
In this one-hour webinar held on Thursday 7 August 2025, we unpacked why Australia’s 2035 climate target matters, how a strong target can pave the way forward, and what you can do to help influence this moment.
Watch the recording below to hear from Climate Councillor and independent economist Nicki Hutley, Advocacy Director Alex Engel-Mallon and CEO Amanda McKenzie, in a conversation chaired by our Research Director Dr. Martin Rice, to better understand how we can secure the strongest possible 2035 climate target.
