Traditional Owners have cared for Country for thousands of generations and we humbly ask them now to help us heal it. I would like to thank them for their continuing custodianship of the lands and waters on which we live, work and depend. This is Australia’s first Biennial Transparency Report. It demonstrates the accelerating action we are taking to meet our commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement. It also reaffirms our longstanding commitment to transparency in how we report our progress. Australia has a strong track record of transparency and accountability on climate action. We have submitted our greenhouse gas accounts under the UNFCCC every year for over 2 decades – and we fulfil all international reporting requirements. Since we enacted the Climate Change Act 2022, I have also submitted 3 annual statements to the Australian Parliament, reporting on policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Under the Paris Agreement, our collective global goal is to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Since Australia submitted its fifth and final Biennial Report under the former transparency arrangements almost 2 years ago, our government has continued to work tirelessly on its ambitious climate change and energy reform agenda. Australia welcomes the opportunity to reflect this in its first Biennial Transparency Report under the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework.
