EXECUTIVE MEMBERS’ BUSINESS

Notice

notice MR RATTENBURY: To move—That this Assembly:


(1) notes:

(a) the severe consequences that climate change will have in the ACT – including increased heatwaves and bushfires – and the need for urgent action to mitigate climate change;

(b) a vital aspect of climate change mitigation is transitioning away from burning coal and other fossil fuels for electricity generation;

(c) the ACT’s policies promoting renewable energy are a sound and important response to climate change;

(d) renewable energy generation is compatible with energy security in the ACT and Australia, and was not the cause of recent problems with electricity supply; and

(e) investment in renewable energy is economically sound and recent analysis shows that building new coal powered generation in Australia would result in substantially higher electricity prices than using a combination of wind, solar and gas;

(2) reaffirms its commitment to the ACT’s climate change mitigation targets of 100 percent electricity generated by renewable sources by 2020; zero net emissions by 2050 at the latest; and 40 percent reduction on 1990 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020; and

(3) calls on the ACT Government to prioritise actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change, including investing in renewable energy for electricity generation, and reducing the ACT’s use of fossil fuels. (Notice given 13 February 2017. Notice will be removed from the Notice Paper unless called on within 4 sitting weeks—standing order 125A).
