"Australia’s current position as “ground zero” for both the impacts of
climate change and policy uncertainty presents an opportunity for the
country to emerge as a leader in responding to the climate crisis,
according to Australian Research Council laureates.
In a letter signed by 80 ARC laureate fellows, some of Australia’s top
researchers said claims strong action to cut emissions would be
economically destructive have no basis and are not “consistent with
Australia’s traditional optimism and ingenuity, nor with historical
experience”.
“Reducing emissions is a global challenge that requires collective
action,” the letter said.
“But Australia’s current visibility as ground zero for both climate
impacts and climate policy uncertainty presents a unique opportunity for
us to emerge as a leader on this challenge.”"
