This report sets out the full carbon footprint of Australia's fossil fuels: the global impact of its domestic emissions and its exported fossil fuels, both historical and projected. While Australians regard their country as one of the world's smaller greenhouse gas emitters, the findings show that Australia's fossil fuels have a very large global impact. It finds the emissions that would arise from the government’s projected fossil fuel exports, in terms of both domestic production and end-use emissions, are clearly not consistent with a global 1.5ºC compatible trajectory. Australia has a responsibility not just to its own consumers of energy, but to the world. 

The report discusses policy implications of Australia's: 

• Global fossil fuel carbon emissions footprint Per capita emissions 
• Being the third largest fossil fuel exporter 
• Exported emissions: current and projected 
• Impact on the remaining carbon budget and 1.5°C limit 
• Australia's markets and the race to 1.5°C 
• The 1.5˚C Paris Agreement warming limit
