Labor keep us safe - net zero by 2035

This week we’ve seen the release of the long awaited National Climate Risk Assessment, and within days Labor will release their updated 2035 climate targets.

We know the risks of inaction - and it’s clear that Labor knows too. If we stick to the current climate trajectory, our communities will be forced to deal with devastating impacts - from millions of people at risk of heat deaths, to flooding and displacement. Young people are on the frontlines of this crisis and will inherit the consequences of this decision.

This week we’ve seen the release of the long awaited National Climate Risk Assessment, and within days Labor will release their updated 2035 climate targets.

We know the risks of inaction - and it’s clear that Labor knows too. If we stick to the current climate trajectory, our communities will be forced to deal with devastating impacts - from millions of people at risk of heat deaths, to flooding and displacement. Young people are on the frontlines of this crisis and will inherit the consequences of this decision.

Any decision on a climate target that doesn’t limit warming to under 1.5 degrees of warming is a reckless choice and an absolute betrayal to young people. This means we must set a target of net zero by 2035, with a strong action plan to get us there.

It’s time for the Albanese Government to step up and deliver on their promises. They have a choice to make - will they stand with young people and protect our future, or prioritise coal and gas corporation profits?

The National Climate Risk Assessment makes the cost of climate inaction clear. But Labor needs a reality check. Real people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake - and young people will bear the brunt of it for decades to come. The next few days are our opportunity to turn up the heat on Labor and draw a line in the sand.

I am emailing to urge you to set a strong climate plan moving Australia to net zero emissions by 2035.

The National Climate Risk Assessment makes the danger of climate inaction clear, we must take strong action and that starts with setting a strong climate plan to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. This means an emissions target of net zero by 2035.

Young people are growing up in a climate crisis. Across the country we are suffering through more and more extreme weather, from devastating heat waves, unseasonal bushfires, and catastrophic flooding, because coal and gas are fuelling the climate crisis.

This will only continue to escalate with any target less than net zero by 2035. From a drastic increase in heat related deaths, to displacement of coastal and already marginalised communities, to flooding for a majority of the year for areas like Fremantle and Brisbane, people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake if we fail to take action.

Our communities deserve better. We still have time to turn things around and protect our future. Will you set a strong climate plan to move Australia to net zero emissions by 2035?

The National Climate Risk Assessment shows your government understands the risks - and it’s time to show that you understand action. Young people will bear the brunt of this decision for decades to come - and are begging you not to let us down.
