Australia: fossil-fuel export profits or climate action? : c

The political context for climate action in Australia appeared to change with the election of a Labor Government in 2022. Labor campaigned on climate change as an economic opportunity, for exports and jobs in renewable energy. The ALP leaders framed climate action as new industries, new development and new employment. This approach is guided by Ross Garnaut (see his book Superpower: Australia’s low carbon opportunity ), who was a principal economic adviser to the Hawke Government.
