Al Gore to head Climate Change Week in Queensland in June


READ MORE

Ms Enoch in February said Queensland “was on track” to provide 20 per cent of its electricity needs by renewable energy by 2020, in response to criticism by Queensland Climate Advisory Council senior scientist, Professor Ian Lowe.


The Queensland government is one of 220 members of The Climate Group’s Under2 Coalition, a  group of “smaller than national governments” committed to keep the change in the world’s temperature to below 2 degrees.


Ms Enoch said the Great Barrier Reef was still threatened by the warming climate.


“During Climate Week Queensland, we will bring together sub-national governments from across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.


“In addition, we will host a First Nations Summit to ensure that these communities, many of which are also experiencing the impacts of climate change, are part of these important discussions.”
