Prepare and protect Livingstone from climate change impacts
The “Polluter Pays” principle is simple – if you make a mess, you should clean it up. Communities like ours are already paying the price of climate change through higher insurance premiums and increasing disaster recovery bills. Meanwhile, big coal, oil and gas corporations are making billions exporting Australia’s resources, often while paying no tax and pocketing huge government subsidies. Our community is already experiencing the impacts of climate pollution – from floods and bushfires to heatwaves and coastal erosion. Local councils are on the frontline, responsible for roads, drainage, community facilities and emergency response – but right now the costs of disasters are rising faster than council revenue. A Climate Compensation Fund could help pay for: 🚨Disaster response and preparedness 😌 Insurance relief for disaster-hit communities 🌳land care and catchment management to address runoff and coastal erosion 🏠 Flood-proofed homes 🏠 Air con in public housing, and help with electricity payments for low income households 🏛️ Upgraded community halls and evacuation centres 🌳 Shaded streets and cool public spaces 🚒 Well-resourced emergency services ✨ An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Climate Self Determination Fund 👷 Support for a just transition for coal industry workers and their families ➕ And much more… Delivery plans This petition will be delivered to Shire of Livingstone who will be encouraged to table it as part of a successful Polluter Pays motion.
