On World Environment Day, the Greens have called on the Albanese Government to back a ban on native forest logging in order to protect nature and a climate trigger in environment law to stop new fossil fuel mines making the climate crisis worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greens are in balance of power on environment law reform as experts and environment groups call for real action to stop worsening biodiversity decline and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young is Greens spokesperson for the Environment and Manager of Business in the Senate:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis World Environment Day, we need urgent action to protect nature and the climate from more destruction and pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAround the world the extinction and climate crises are getting worse. The time for window dressing and weak slogans is over: we need a ban on native forest logging and a climate trigger in our environment laws to stop new coal and gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnvironment laws that allow more fossil fuels and the destruction of our forests are not worth the paper they\u2019re printed on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Greens won\u2019t be rubber-stamping any new laws that simply pander to the fossil fuel lobby, fail to protect nature, and do little to cut pollution.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On World Environment Day, the Greens have called on the Albanese Government to back a ban on native forest logging in order to protect nature and a climate trigger in environment law to stop new fossil fuel mines making the climate crisis worse.
