ALGA has provided a submission to Climate Change Authority’s 2024 Issues paper: Targets, Pathways and Progress.
The submission said managing the impacts of climate change is an important issue for local government, and ALGA welcomes a science-based target to achieve Australia’s international obligations under the Paris Agreement.
ALGA also said a 2035 target must drive progress towards deep and sustained emissions reductions to limit dangerous climate change. Our communities and local government’s ability to adapt will be in doubt if we do not achieve progress on emissions reduction.
We look forward to continued engagement and working with the Federal Government on climate change issues.
