#FixTheAct

The government's response to the Climate Change Act review is a missed opportunity. Tell your MP we need real adaptation plans and an independent climate body.

Make Polluters Pay

Big coal, gas and oil cexporters profit while communities pay the price. Support a national Climate Compensation Fund funded by a pollution levy.

Submission on the Tasmanian Climate Change Risk Assessment (Follow-up)

Oct

2023

TCC's follow-up comments to the 2023 Tasmanian Climate Risk Assessment, submitted after the September workshop, arguing that governance should be added as a fifth risk domain alongside the natural, social, economic and built environment domains already assessed. Key points: - Omitting a Governance domain is a serious gap, since governance underpins risk across every other domain - Risks from industry influence over policy, weak political donation laws and the absence of an independent climate authority - Opportunity to establish a Tasmanian Commission for Future Generations to support longer-term decision-making - Risks from poor community engagement delaying the renewable energy transition - Risk that Tasmania's LULUCF-driven net zero status breeds complacency about emissions from other sectors
