Victoria Climate Change Summit

April 02, 2008

On Friday 4th of April, 100 prominent Victorians came together at Parliament House to discuss climate change.

Delegates from industry, non government organisations, peak bodies, local government, community groups and regional Victoria met to discuss a range of ideas about how to keep Victoria at the forefront of taking action on climate change.

Topics discussed included:

  • Reducing emissions in the energy sector.

  • Positioning Victorian industry to capitalise on the new jobs, new technologies and new markets that will flow from the transition to the low-carbon economy.

  • Assisting households to manage rising prices for food, energy and water.

  • Increasing the resilience of Victoria's regions and communities to manage the impacts of climate change.

  • Positioning Victoria for a leadership role in the national response to climate change.

    • The Premier of Victoria, John Brumby also released a Summit Paper which can be downloaded from the Summit website.
