With the Climate Action Plan 2019 just recently published, Government has made significant commitments to decreasing our collective national carbon footprint.
“Budget 2020 must have a strong focus on sustainability, climate action and decarbonisation.
52% of responding businesses support prioritisation of funding for public and sustainable transport, 23% for tax incentives for electric cars, with 12% indicating support for the carbon tax with other responses indicating the necessity for a combination of measures as the most appropriate approach to meeting national carbon reduction targets."
