Fix the Act - The Tasmanian Government's climate response is a missed opportunity.
The government had a real chance to respond to the Independent Review of the Climate Change Act by cutting climate pollution and helping us prepare for the impacts we're already locked into. Instead, the response doesn't match the urgency of the problem. Parliament can't ignore that — and neither should we
Where the response falls short
-
No adaptation plans for health, communities, ecosystems and more
-
Risks Tasmania's Net Zero status, leaning on short-term forest offsets
-
Prioritises paperwork over on-the-ground change
-
Doesn't match the urgency of accelerating climate impacts
What now
-
Legislate the independent statutory body now
-
Real, sensible management of climate risks
-
A genuine commitment to stop making the problem worse
CAMPAIGN • NATIONAL
Communities for Climate Compensation - It's time big polluters paid their fair share.
Climate impacts are already hitting our cost of living — rising insurance, food security, disaster recovery and adaptation costs — and it's only going to get worse. It's not fair that ratepayers and small businesses foot the bill while coal, gas and oil exporters profit from the pollution driving these costs. Councils are struggling too.
Why it matters
-
Rising insurance premiums, and insurance becoming harder to get at all
-
Councils absorbing adaptation costs their rate base was never built for
-
The gap between disaster costs and council revenue keeps widening
How the fund works
-
A pollution levy on big coal, gas and oil exporters
-
Levy proceeds go into a national Climate Compensation Fund
-
Fund pays out to communities and councils facing climate costs
