SYDNEY: Australia’s carbon emissions aren’t dropping fast enough to reach its 2030 climate target, Oxford Economics says, as the rollout of renewable energy takes longer than initially anticipated.

Australia is set to miss the goal by a couple of years, Oxford said in an analysis contained in its bi-annual economic outlook. Australia is aiming to reach emissions levels of 43% below 2005 levels by 2030.
