- Title
THE ROLE OF NATIONAL FRAMEWORK LEGISLATION IN IMPLEMENTING AUSTRALIA'S EMISSION REDUCTION COMMITMENTS UNDER THE PARIS AGREEMENT.
- Authors
BENNETT, MICHAEL
- Abstract
The Paris Agreement has been widely recognised as a significant step forward in efforts to address climate change. However, the success of the agreement in achieving its global goals will depend critically on the implementation of sufficiently ambitious nationally-determined commitments ('NDCs') made under the Agreement. This article explores the potential for national legislation to support the Paris Agreement by guiding the development of NDCs and establishing political and legal accountability mechanisms to ensure that they are achieved. It also examines particular design issues that arise in an Australian context.
