Under the National Dialogue for Climate Action (NDCA), my Department held the Climate Conversations 2022, which invites people from all over the country to have their say on how we can all play our part in securing our sustainable future. The conversations form part of the process to inform and support the preparation of the Climate Action Plan 2023. As part of the conversations, a call for expert evidence was also undertaken by my Department seeking evidence-based submissions from experts, research organisations and other groups that work in areas relating to climate, environment and energy. Under the call for evidence, a submission was received from the organisation referred to in the Question, and a senior representative from this organisation was also interviewed as part of broader climate conversation process. This approach provided the opportunity for the organisation to submit a detailed overview of the measures they would like to see in the Climate Action Plan 2023. All feedback from the conversations has been analysed and presented to policy makers as part of the process to identify, inform and develop policies, measures and actions for the Climate Action Plan 2023.
