With national elections approaching, climate change is not a primary concern for many Australian voters despite the country's substantial contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and its role as a major fossil fuel exporter. The contrasting climate policies of the Labor Party and the Liberal-National Coalition highlight divergent approaches to energy transition, with Labor advocating for an expansion in renewable energy and the Coalition favoring nuclear energy. Experts indicate that both strategies can reduce emissions, but question the feasibility of delayed transitions amid the pressing need to phase out coal plants.
Few voters have as much power over climate change as an Australian citizen, given the country's significant per capita greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel exports.
The leading candidates in Australia’s national elections differ sharply on climate policy, with Labor focusing on renewables and the Liberal-National Coalition proposing nuclear energy.
