As a Young Liberal I know it's time to stop turning climate change into a culture war

In early December, delegates representing Young Liberal branches across the state voted overwhelmingly in approval of a motion recognising the reality of climate change and the need for action.

‘It should not be a matter of conservative vs progressive.
It should be a matter of science and economics.’

The NSW Liberal party’s youth wing recognises this a particularly important issue facing our generation, as our generation will have to face the risks brought about by climate change.

It is the duty of government to be awake to the challenges of the future. As the great conservative thinker Edmund Burke recognised, current generations hold the present in trust for the future. And climate change is a significant risk that will affect the future of my generation.

The climate change debate in Australia has unfortunately become a bit of a poisoned well. While Boris Johnson’s Conservatives went to the UK election with a commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, any talk of climate change can spell the death of a Liberal leader in Australia.
