Hobart Public Forum Amending the climate change Act 2008
The Climate Change (State Action) Act 2008 sets the Tasmanian Government’s legislative framework for action on climate change and guides our response to climate change mitigation and adaptation in Tasmania.
The Act requires that an independent review is undertaken every four years. Based on the outcomes of the most recent independent review, the government is taking the opportunity to strengthen our legislative framework for action on climate change by amending the Act.
Public consultation is now open on the proposed amendments to the Act. Contribute your views on the proposed revised objects of the Act, the proposed principles to guide decision making and any other comments on the proposed amendments to the Act.
Friday 2nd November 10am till 12 noon
Hobart Function and Conference Centre , Marina Room, 4 Franklin Wharf, Hobart
