“Tasmania’s high vulnerability to climate hazards like bushfires, floods, extreme weather events and sea level rise should be a clarion call for us to finally stop logging our native forests," Greens Senator for Tasmania Nick McKim said. “Nationally we need to stop approving new fossil coal and gas projects, end fossil fuel subsidies, stop logging native forests and set a 2035 emissions reduction target of net zero.” “In Tasmania we need a clear climate adaptation strategy to embed resilience into our communities, infrastructure and ecosystems, and an end to native forest logging.” “This report should make it abundantly clear to the Labor and Liberal parties that it is in Tasmania’s interests to end native forest logging.
"Protecting our precious forests would make Tasmanians safer, not just from bushfires but a range of significant climate risks.” The full report can be found here.
