In March 2019, the WA EPA released its Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGe) Guidelines; it was a progressive move forward to control the emissions flowing out of our biggest polluting projects. But the EPA was attacked by industry and the guidelines are now under threat.
WA has the second highest per capita GHGe of all Australian states and territories, and the State’s emissions are increasing. The increase in WA’s GHGe is largely due to the expansion of Liquified Natural Gas production and export.
With the Federal Government continuing to offer little leadership on climate issues, the State’s independent environmental authority is being compelled to act to help safeguard our future for future generations and to help the precious environmental ecosystems Western Australia supports.
By adding a submission to this process, you can help end the polluting industry’s special treatment and protect Western Australia’s climate. Make a stand for reducing our impact on global warming—now and for future generations.
