In May 2019, the ACT joined many other cities, states and territories around the world in declaring a state of climate emergency, acknowledging the need for urgent action across all levels of Government.
The ACT Government is committed to doing everything it can to solve the global challenge of climate change, in the interests of securing a liveable and healthy future for our community, all species and for future generations.
The ACT Climate Change Strategy reflects the need for urgent action, and work is underway to investigate opportunities for embedding climate emergency considerations across Government operations and decisions.
