- Summary:
-
"This decade is the critical window of time to tackle climate change. The consequences of climate change are now happening all around us, from worsening extreme weather, to sea level rise and damage to iconic ecosystems. Solutions to the climate challenge are well known, cost effective and available today. There has been a dramatic upswing in climate change action with a global renewable energy revolution underway. Australia is failing to tackle climate change with emissions rising and a lack of any coherent, national approach to reduce emissions in the short, medium or long term. We are known as a global climate laggard. Failure to rapidly and deeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions increases the risk of deteriorating human health and well-being, massive forced migration and conflict, crippling economic damage around the world, and the Earth's sixth great extinction event."--Publisher.
