Climate Change Action Plan Consultation 2021 (closed)

Tasmania's previous climate change action plan, Climate Action 21, concluded in June 2021.

Development of the next whole-of-government action plan is progressing after a public consultation process.

This new action plan will continue to build on the themes and actions from our previous action plan, with initiatives to be developed in consultation with the community.

Consultation was conducted over a series of one-on-one meetings and public online workshops, followed by the release of the Opportunities Paper and public call for written submissions. Thank you to everyone who attended an online workshop or provided a written submission to this consultation process.

You can still access the Opportunities Paper:

We received 41 submissions in response to the Opportunities Paper. Three submissions were submitted confidentially and will not be published.

We have prepared a summary of the consultation feedback on development of the next action plan.

CCYP Ambassadors

As part of the consultation process, workshops were held with the Commissioner for Children and Young People (CCYP) Ambassadors, in Devonport, Launceston, and Hobart, as well as an online workshop.

Tasmanian Youth Climate Leaders

The Tasmanian Government has supported the Greening Australia Tasmanian Youth Climate Leaders' Conferences over many years. Our team attended the conferences to hear their thoughts and ideas about climate change. Watch the Youth Climate Leaders 2021 video.

Premier's Youth Advisory Council

As part of the consultation process, two workshops were held with the Premier's Youth Advisory Council.

While we make every effort to publish items in an accessible format, this is not always possible for documents prepared by others. Some of these submissions may not meet accessibility guidelines.
