In September 2025, the government announced Australia's target to reduce emissions by 62-70% below 2005 levels by 2035.
The target was released alongside a suite of documents that describe the government's plan to meet Australia's 2035 target and net zero by 2050 goal. This included the:
- Net Zero Plan
- Sector Plans covering key parts of the Australian economy:

The Net Zero Plan focuses on:
- Clean electricity across the economy.
