In the wake of the United Nations Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change's sixth assessment report, the Labor government is calling on Parliament to support changes to the safeguard mechanism as the only way to cut emissions by 43 percent by 2030.

That story by Soofia Tariq for SBS News, produced by Praba Maheswaran for SBS Tamil.
