Western Australian Climate Policy - A plan to position Western Australia or a prosperous and resilient low‑carbon future.

The Western Australian Climate Policy - A plan to position Western Australia or a prosperous and resilient low‑carbon future (2020) underscores the government commitment to adapting to climate change and working with all sectors of the economy to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The Policy's vision is to harness Western Australia’s innovation and wealth of natural and mineral resources to achieve net zero emissions and ensure a prosperous, resilient future for all Western Australians. Actions and outcomes are outlined in the following themes: Clean manufacturing and future industries (New jobs in clean industries in Western Australia, greater adoption of low‑carbon technologies in the resource and primary industry sectors, global decarbonisation through export of renewable energy and reduced supply chain emissions, enhanced economic diversification and resilience); Transforming energy generation and use (Better integration of large‑scale renewable and distributed energy resources and reduced carbon emissions; Lower costs and better choices for consumers; Enhanced reliability and security of energy supply; Support for new technologies, new businesses and new Western Australian jobs in the fast‑growing clean energy sector); Storing carbon and caring for our landscapes (Reduced emissions and increased carbon sequestration; Economic diversification and enhanced agricultural productivity; Jobs for traditional owners and regional communities; Improved biodiversity conservation and fire management outcomes); Lower-carbon transport (Increased uptake of low‑ and zero‑emissions vehicles, fuels and transport technologies; Lower greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality; Improved public transport, freight transport and active transport options); Resilient cities and regions (Increased adaptive capacity across our communities; Improved understanding and management of climate risks and natural hazards; Enhanced water security and certainty for water users; More resilient and better prepared regions); Government leadership (Reduced emissions from State Government operations; Improved management of climate‑related financial risk across the public sector; Greater adoption of low‑carbon practices and technologies across the community; Better planning through regionally relevant climate science)
