Government preparing to make concessions over RET and adopt more consultative processes to set new greenhouse emissions reduction target
The Abbott government could be shifting ground on climate policy – with a more conciliatory approach in negotiations over the renewable energy target and consultative processes to set a new greenhouse emissions reduction target to apply after 2020.
Guardian Australia understands the government is preparing to make significant concessions in talks with Labor to try to strike a bipartisan deal over the RET. Talks resumed last week and are set to continue.
