After holding out for two weeks, both Canada and Australia finally caved in and agreed at the climate talks in Bali to support a 25-40% emissions reduction target by 2020.
"It's good to see Australia starting to take a more progressive role on climate change. We had concerns that Australia would play a wrecker role in Bali, but at the very end they did the right thing," said Stephen Campbell, Greenpeace Australia Pacific Campaigns Director.
He said the Federal Government will now have to take its emission reduction commitments seriously. It should follow New Zealand's example and call a moratorium on any new coal-fired power stations.
"We have the right words - now it's time to see the right actions", said Stephen Campbell, Campaigns Director of Greenpeace Australia/Pacific.
