Thought Leadership: A NSW Climate Act?
|
At a national level, Australia now has legislation that sets targets for emission reductions and requires progress checks under the Climate Change Act 2022 (Cth). NSW does not have a similar type of accountability for state-level targets, nor a framework for processes by which government and standalone agencies make relevant decisions. This begs the question: do we need a standalone NSW Act? Join our experts including Martijn Wilder AM and Tony Wood AM on 3 May to hear more. Register here. |
