I was excited today to announce a National Climate Change Summit to be held in March or April. As I said a few posts ago, we need national leadership on climate change and given the Howard government has gone missing on the issue, I propose to bring together a diverse range of people from business, the scientific community and federal, state and local government to determine the best response to the challenge of climate change.
Rod Eddington and Professor Ian Lowe, chair of the Australian Conservation Foundation, will assist in encouraging participation and generating support for the Summit.
I hope to then implement recommendations from the Summit in the first months of the Rudd Labor Government.
Please join me in bringing consensus to such a difficult and emotive issue, an issue which affects the economic and social future of the country.
