To exemplify what it means to declare a climate emergency and act accordingly, Philip Sutton has written a 40-page ‘Model Climate Emergency Act’ – or ‘Restructuring and Mobilisation Act’ – which outlines in detail how the Australian parliamentarians could declare a climate emergency, restructure the Australian economy, and mobilise the resources needed.
Philip Sutton is Manager and Strategist, RSTI Inc (Research and Strategy for Transition Initiation), author of ‘Striking Targets’, and co-author of ‘Climate Code Red: The case for emergency action’. Photo on top of this page: Courtesy of Breakthrough
