Independent Member for Warringah, Zali Steggall MP, has introduced a new Bill in the Australian Parliament which seeks to create a national framework for net zero emissions by 2050.

The Climate Change (Adaptation and Mitigation) Bill 2020 sets out a framework for national plans to be put in place and updated by the Australian Government, and for progress to be rigorously monitored and reported. The national framework seeks to ensure that Australia has:

1. a positive response to the challenges of climate change
2. national plans for adapting to a changing climate
3. national plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
4. transparent monitoring, reporting and accountability
