The Climate Change Authority strives for best practice community consultation, including taking account of the views and concerns of Australians whose voices and experiences are not always heard. We intend to treat consultation as an opportunity to drive positive change in Australia’s net zero transformation journey.
When engaging, the authority will listen in an open way and use the input we receive, along with information from other sources, when formulating our advice to government on the response to climate change.
We aim to engage and consult broadly to represent a variety of experiences and perspectives, including by engaging directly with communities, industry stakeholders, non-government organisations, First Nations peoples, and a broad range of experts, research institutes and governments.
The authority has released an Engagement Strategy 2023-25 that is our ongoing commitment to:
- better understand the ways Australians experience climate change and the economic response to it.
- increase awareness of the challenges and opportunities Australia faces into the future.
- build community understanding of the advice we provide.
