Today, the Coalition chaired and controlled Environment and Energy Committee released its much-awaited final report summarising the inquiry into the Climate Change Bills proposed by Zali Steggall OAM MP.

The impacts of Climate Change represent the greatest threat to our national security, our economy, our health and our environment. But if we implement an effective plan now, we can create a safe and prosperous future for ourselves and our children.
The Climate Act is a proposed law to ensure the long-term safety, security and prosperity of Australia by achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Zali Steggall OAM MP will table the Act to parliament on Monday November 9th 2020.
View the proposed act
The Climate Act will put in place plans to harness low emission technology and projects, triggering a sustainable jobs boom for all of Australia.
The Climate Act will help speed up our transition to low emissions technologies that are driving down energy prices.
By putting plans in place for key industries the Climate Act will enable businesses to invest with certainty in new low emissions technologies.
By legislating Net Zero, the Climate Act will tell our trading partners we are committed to reducing our emissions and will avoid carbon tariffs being imposed on our exports.
Following Joe Biden’s Leaders Summit in April, some major economies made a commitment to achieve net zero no later than 2050 including the US, Japan and South Korea.
By failing to implement climate legislation, Australia is being left behind. Not only are our trading partners likely to introduce carbon tariffs on our exports, Australia is missing out on global investment in renewables when we should be a world leader.
