The Consequences of Abandoning Net Zero for Regional Australia

The Nationals have formally abandoned their commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

Regional Australians are the most impacted by climate change. Doing less on climate action now will result in more extreme weather events and unnatural disasters. Arguably, the Nationals’ decision to ditch net zero fails to protect the best interests of the regional Australians they claim to represent.

Andrew Bray, National Director of Renewable Energy Alliance and joined 2SER Breakfast, live from one of the state’s prime wind districts, near the Capital Wind Farm on Lake George in the Southern Tablelands, to discuss how regional Australians react to the Nationals’ backflip on net zero.
