That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

"The Senate congratulates incoming US President Biden on his victory and welcomes his commitment to tackling the climate crisis, particularly his acknowledgement that climate change is an emergency and an existential threat, and calls on the Australian Government to match his target of zero emissions electricity by 2035, if not earlier."
