About the review
The 2024-25 Independent Review of the Climate Change (State Action) Act 2008 (the Act) has commenced. The Tasmanian Government has engaged an independent team to review how the Act is working, and how it might be improved. The review will also consider Tasmania’s climate change governance arrangements.
The Act sets the Tasmanian Government’s legislative framework for action on climate change. The Act requires that an independent review of its operation is undertaken every four years. The Act was most recently reviewed in 2020-21. That review informed a range of amendments to the Act, which were enacted in November 2022.
The independent review team
The independent review team is led by Ricardo in partnership with local firm Era Advisory. The review will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Act and Terms of Reference.
Discussion paper
A discussion paper has been developed to explain the purpose of the Act. The Paper provides a summary of the outcomes of the last review, and an overview of what policies and legislation have changed.
Public consultation has now closed
The independent review team will now review the feedback received. Results of the consultation will be collated in a ‘what we heard’ report which will include a summary of feedback and consultation themes. The report will be published on the Climate Change Office website.
