State of the Environment: Greens push to halt extinction and for 'Climate Trigger'
The Greens are urging the Albanese Government to stop approving new mines and developments in threatened species habitat to halt extinction and to establish a ‘climate trigger’ to assess the emissions of polluting projects.
The Greens’ push coincides with the long-awaited release of the State of the Environment Report.
Greens Environment Spokesperson Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said:
“This Report is a devastating assessment of the state of Australia’s environment. It shows a litany of environmental wreckage fuelled by climate change and years of denial and neglect.
