Queensland

In 2021, Queensland's reported emissions were approximately 139.7 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion and fugitive emissions, and Scope 3 emissions from waste generated in operations. Detailed Scope 2 emissions were not disclosed for this period, and other Scope 3 categories such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute were also not reported. This represents a reduction from 2020, when emissions were approximately 154 billion kg CO2e, and from 2019, when they were approximately 158.4 billion kg CO2e.

Queensland has established several climate commitments. The Clean Economy Jobs Act 2024 (Qld) legislates an absolute Scope 1 emissions reduction target of 30% below 2005 levels by 2030, and a long-term absolute Scope 1 emissions reduction target of 75% below 2005 levels by 2035. Furthermore, Queensland is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, as legislated by the Clean Economy Jobs Act 2024 (Qld) and supported by the Queensland Climate Action Plan 2020–2030.
