Mayoral Reception - Launch of the 2040 Climate Ready Hobart Strategy
A reception was held to launch the 2040 Climate Ready Hobart Strategy.
The Climate Ready Hobart Strategy is a guide to what the City of Hobart and the community can do together to respond to the climate and biodiversity emergency as we move towards 2040. The strategy embraces the City of Hobart's responsibility as a municipal organisation to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the community. It sets a clear direction for the City to lead by example across its core business and services, and to enable the community to act responding to climate change requires everyone to act.
This strategy provides Hobart with:
- clear and measurable goals to track and report on progress priorities for responding to climate change and making the biggest impact where it matters most
- principles to guide decision making that are flexible and adaptable in the face of uncertainty
- an integrated set of climate change priorities that value nature, community, and economy
- an evidence-based approach that aligns with the climate science and with national and international standards
- a strategy that is guided by collaboration with the community and responds to the recommendations of the Hobart Climate Assembly
- a roadmap to do our part to contribute to the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change and the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
