Every time we have a discussion about acting on climate change there is always someone quick to tell us that we simply cannot as it will destroy the economy. Wrong! Our economy cannot survive climate change, and we’re already seeing the effects. The cost of extreme weather events in Australia has doubled since the 1970s, our climate-related health costs continue to climb, and our trade partners are leaving us behind. It is time to act on climate change now: for our children, our country and our economy. We might be done with the Glasgow Climate Change Conference - but it's only really starting.
