Grattan Institute positive about stable, compelling bipartisan climate policy

After a decade of toxic political debates and a policy bonfire, there is an opportunity to forge a stable and compelling policy on climate change that could be supported by both sides of politics, according to a new Grattan Institute report.

Climate phoenix: a sustainable Australian climate policy shows that with both major parties committed to reducing emissions, a bipartisan approach is within reach. The report sets out a realistic policy roadmap that builds on the Coalition’s current climate policies while maintaining direction towards the long-term target. Its recommendations are designed to ensure both environmental credibility and the predictability essential to attract investment in clean technology.
