AGL advocates for a responsible energy transition that balances energy reliability and affordability with the need to decarbonise, and supports the Australian government's commitment to the Paris Agreement. While this represents AGL’s position, we recognise that it is not always imperative or relevant for all industry bodies and associations that we engage with to communicate strong Paris-aligned policy outcomes. However, AGL will continue to engage with industry associations in compliance with our Industry Association Policy, and will continue to advocate for strong policy action to progress Australia’s decarbonisation agenda, both individually and through appropriate industry associations.

AGL seeks to align industry associations with its positions on key issues, including policy advocacy positions regarding the appropriate action to address climate change. There is general agreement among AGL and industry associations of which we are a member about the principles that should guide Australia’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and climate change policy framework. AGL supports the ambition of the Paris Agreement and advocates for industry associations of which it is a member of to support policy settings that will enable the delivery of more ambitious action to limit global warming. There may, however, be some disagreement among these associations about the particular mechanisms to achieve these outcomes and the prioritisation of particular principles to guide the policy pathway, with different organisations prioritising industry competitiveness, the use of market-based mechanisms, accelerating the use of renewable energy, energy affordability, policy stability, or the integration of climate change and renewable energy policies.
