As Federal Cabinet considers next steps on pollution and climate change policy, The Climate Institute released its policy priorities and detailed its approach to analysis of proposed announcements, with the return of its 'Pollute-o-meter' and star rating of policies.
"The Climate Institute is resolutely focused on credible policies to deliver bi-partisan 2020 pollution reduction targets of up to 25 per cent reductions off 2000 levels and drive a fast but fair transition to a low pollution economy," said CEO John Connor.
"Australians understand that we have a pollution dependent economy that not only is making climate change worse but is dangerous for our health, our environment and economic prosperity."
"Australians understand that our pollution levels are rising and will reward parties with detailed plans on pollution and climate change."
Our policy priorities (summary attached) set out action in three areas:
- Limiting and reducing pollution at home and internationally;
- Making companies take responsibility for their pollution and
- Making clean energy cheaper.
