Minerals Council commits to decarbonising economy as climate risk pressure grows

The mining industry's powerful lobby group will commit to decarbonising Australia;s economy and will endorse the Paris Agreement on climate change. 

Minerals Council of Australia chief executive Tania Constable says a blueprint will support the use of electric vehicles and renewable energy. 

However, Ms Constable tells ABC's Peter Ryan there is no date for the mining industry to reach a net zero emissions target.
