Solutions for Climate Australia and the Climate Action Network Australia warmly welcome Prime Minister Albanese’s announcement today for funding and legislation that will support the growth of green manufacturing and industry.
Director of Solutions for Climate Australia’s Dr Barry Traill said:
“The world is moving on from polluting industries and this plan will help make sure Australia moves with it.
“This is a huge deal for reducing climate pollution - it means we will be able to take advantage of our sun and wind to make Australia make again.
“If this plan is delivered strategically and at scale, it will stimulate billions of dollars in private investment, good quality jobs, and see communities and ultimately the environment benefit.
“We’re really excited to see it start rolling out, especially in places like Gladstone and the Hunter Valley where jobs and communities are transitioning away from coal and gas.”
CEO of Climate Action Network Australia’s Glen Klatovsky said:
“Making and enacting a plan for the global energy transition requires government leadership, and that’s why we’re happy to see the Albanese government putting their hand to the tiller.”
