The ACT Government has released the next ACT Climate Change Strategy setting the direction for the next decade of climate action and reaffirming its commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2045.

The strategy is comprised of an Overarching Framework and Action Plan 1 with more action plans to be added over the coming decade.

The Overarching Framework sets out a vision to create a climate-resilient, climate-positive and nature-positive Canberra while continuing work to meet its net zero emissions target.

It sets out priorities across eight key pillars: natural environment, built environment, transport, energy, circular economy and waste, hard-to-abate emissions, agriculture, and government. 

Action Plan 1 includes immediate actions the Government will take over the next few years to continue emissions reductions, strengthen climate resilience and deliver benefits for Canberrans across all eight pillars.
