The release of the latest IPPC report in October is our strongest call to act on climate change yet, with scientists saying we have just 12 years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.
The NT does not currently have a Climate Policy, NT emissions have risen 28% over the last ten years and could rise by over 200% if fracking goes ahead.
Please contact ALEC [email protected] if you have any questions or need help with a submission.
