My summery:
Liberal Party of Australia - partial commitments to just 2 of 12 of the most urgent and measurable outcomes. No commitment above what other parties have made and a $300,000,000 cut to funding to developing countries to help them adapt to climate change.
Australian Greens - strong commitment to 10 of 12 of the most urgent and measurable of these commitments and partial commitments to the other 2.
Australian Labor Party - partial commitments to just 6 of 12 of the most urgent and measurable outcomes. Stronger commitments to 2 others.
