A Safe Climate Bill for Victoria

Community climate action group Lighter Footprints are involved in a collaborative project with Greenleap Strategic Institute and Friends of the Earth (Melbourne) to develop a Safe Climate Bill for Victoria.

The project aims to develop a draft Bill that, if implemented, would establish Victoria’s commitment to climate protection and create a framework to meet Victoria’s share of the global obligation to reduce carbon emissions to address its historical carbon debt and provide for a safe climate future.

This draft Bill will be guided by an expert advisory committee and developed through collaboration between the above parties and other climate action groups.

It is hoped it will provide a contrasting and alternative piece of legislation to the draft Climate Change Bill currently being developed by the Victorian Government.
