Consultation activities

Consultation workshops

In February and March 2021, four online public consultation workshops; five one-on-one meetings with key stakeholders; and five sector‑specific consultation workshops were conducted, seeking input on the review of the Act and the development of the next climate change action plan. These workshops were conducted online using Microsoft Teams and the facilitation tool Mural. Over 200 people participated.

Additional consultation workshops seeking input on the action plan were held with the Premier’s Youth Advisory Council, delegates at Greening Australia’s Youth Climate Leaders Program in Hobart and participants in the Commissioner for Children and Young People Ambassador Program.
