Fossil Fuel Divestment Bill 2016: Discussion
4:00 pm
Ms Finola Finnan:
There is plenty more to be done and it is the first step. The national mitigation plan is probably the platform for it. Regarding all of the sectors that are carbon emitters, having a clear plan with clear targets and a clear implementation plan is really important. It is also a matter of engaging with the public and ensuring we are listening to them and addressing their needs. I will defer to my colleague who has been working on this issue, Ms Sharkey, who will probably have a little more to add.
