Climate Action 21: Tasmania’s Climate Change Action Plan 2017-2021.

Climate Action 21: Tasmania’s Climate Change Action Plan 2017-2021 (Climate Action 21) is structured into six priorities. Each priority area includes a 2021 vision statement, actions for 2017 to 2021 and details of initiatives already being progressed by the Tasmanian Government. Climate Action 21 has 37 actions based around the priority areas.
Priorities areas and some of the actions follow: 1) "Understanding Tasmania's future climate" commits to providing up-to-date information on climate change projections and impacts, and tailoring this information to support decision making across key industry sectors (Actions: research, capacity building, etc. ); 2) "Advancing our renewable energy capability" supports national energy security solutions in the transition to a low carbon generation network and delivers energy efficiency programs with local government, households and businesses (Actions: maximise energy efficiency, etc.); 3) "Reducing our transport emissions" promotes the uptake of electric vehicles and other alternative forms of transport, and optimises the use of vehicles to reduce costs and emissions; 4) "Growing a climate-ready economy" supports businesses and agricultural producers to reduce their emissions, be prepared for the impacts of climate change, and leverage opportunities (Actions: Work with farmers to reduce fertiliser-related emissions and costs, provide water surety for irrigation to underpin agricultural productivity in a changing climate, etc.); 5) "Building climate resilience" enhances our capacity to withstand and recover from extreme weather events, and better understand and manage the risks of a changing climate (Actions: Help communities understand their exposure to natural hazards, etc.) ; 6) "Supporting community action" establishes an aspirational emissions reduction target of zero net emissions by 2050, recognises that all Tasmanians have a role to play in tackling climate change, and assists the community to reduce emissions and energy use (Actions: Deliver policies and programs to build community resilience to population health risks in a changing climate, etc.).
