Submission to the Review of the Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) Bill 2020
On 27 October 2020 the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia made a submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy review of the Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) Bill 2020.
The Academy strongly supports the intent and detail of this Bill and the associated Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2020 as an effective means to reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050, and in doing so to reduce the risk of direct and indirect social, environmental, economic and health-related risks and harms to Australians in the future.
