House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Climate Change Climate Change The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Climate Change The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:49): Supplementary: my question is to the Minister for the Environment. Given the government's new-found commitment to tackling climate change, what is the government's new carbon emission reduction plan and by when does it plan to reach it? The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS House of Assembly Black Minister for Environment and Water Climate Change The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water) (15:49): I thank the member for West Torrens for his question. Under Carbon Neutral Adelaide, the program which we are going to continue, albeit wrapped into a broader program which is not only focused on the CBD but which is broadened to the whole of metropolitan Adelaide, we will continue to work towards that program's existing target to have zero emissions in an equal sense because there will, of course, always be offsets required, but we will aim towards zero emissions by 2050. We will continue to be committed to the Paris climate change targets, which we have locked into. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS House of Assembly The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: We are proud of that. Those will be the strategies that we are following. We are showing leadership in this state, and we will continue to take that forward.
