Climate Commission draft advice to government, Autumn 2021

Published on Submissions

Summary of our submission

In general we support the spirit of this first Climate Change Commission (CCC) report, but we want strong and decisive action, and we want it more quickly than the report recommends. We think that the Commission’s proposed budgets need to be substantially enhanced to create greater emissions reductions over the next decade, to better align with efforts to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees.

The solutions lie before us, and we cannot delay any longer.
