ClimateQ

ClimateQ: toward a greener Queensland

In 2008, the Queensland Government commenced a review of Queensland's climate change strategies in response to national and international developments in climate change science and policy.

ClimateQ: toward a greener Queensland presents the next phase in Queensland's response to the challenge of climate change. The revised strategy presents investments and policies to ensure Queensland remains at the forefront of the national climate change response.

ClimateQ builds on the previous measures in ClimateSmart 2050 and ClimateSmart Adaptation 2007-12, and positions Queensland at the forefront of climate change responses—continuing to lead the nation with the most comprehensive suite of policy initiatives of any state or territory.
