" Tasmania is already playing a leading role in responding to the international climate change issue. We have signed up to the national target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 60 per cent by 2050.

The Premier invited respected environmental academic Dr Kate Crowley to develop a framework for climate change action for the Tasmanian Government. "
