Submission: Inquiry into Climate change and a just transition

Since the Industrial Revolution, our planet has warmed by 1.5 degrees Celsius, constituting the largest threat to global health of the modern era. The stark impacts of this overall trend are and will
be unevenly felt on a global scale, including here in the ACT. We see that existing climate change strategies leave behind our most vulnerable people, compounding cost-of-living stress and
abandoning the principles of community wellbeing and inclusion. Efforts to address climate change must consider equity in both mitigation (reducing emissions) and adaptation (coping with the
impacts).

Happy holidays!

We will be closed from 4pm on 20 December 2024 and will reopen on 6 January 2025.

We wish you a relaxing and joyful holiday season.
