CLIMATE CHANGE — ACTION PLAN
220. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Climate Action:
I refer to the 2020 Western Australian
climate policy and to the section headed ''Climate Resilience Action
Plan 2022–25'' on page 34,
which assigns the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation as the lead
agency to —
Develop a coordinated, collaborative
plan to support Western Australian industries, cities and regions to identify
and manage climate impacts and enhance climate resilience.
(1) Is the
climate resilience action plan 2022–25 complete; and, if so, could the
minister please table the action plan?
(2) If not, given
we are already in March 2022, when is the action plan for 2022–25
expected to be completed and published?
Hon
SAMANTHA ROWE replied:
I thank the member for some notice
of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for
Emergency Services representing the Minister for Climate Action.
(1) No.
(2) External consultation to support the development
of the climate resilience action plan 2022–25, now known as the climate
resilience strategy, will commence shortly. It is anticipated that the
overarching strategy will be published in the second half of 2022, with actions
for industries, cities and regions finalised in 2023.
