Morrison has said Australia wanted to achieve net zero"as soon as possible and preferably by 2050" and it expects to beat its pledge to cut carbon emissions by 26 per cent to 28 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030.
Morrison is engaged in negotiations with the junior partner in his coalition government, the rural-based National party, about strengthening climate targets. The National party, which is concerned about the impact of carbon targets on farming and coal mining, will meet on Sunday to discuss Morrison's plan.
Morrison must face a general election by May 2022 and he needs to appease moderates in his Liberal Party pressing for climate action, while at the same time retaining support of the National party.
