February 26, 2020 - ...drought preceding it. The toxic nature of discussion on climate change and the tortured politics associated with it in Australia for more than a decade meant that the speech was very cautious in outlining the measures needed to achieve the 2050 end point or providing an interim road map for achieving it. The interview with David Speers on the ABC Insiders program soon after the speech was no more enlightening, but the promise has been made and the details must eventually follow. This commitment to zero net carbon emissions 30 years ahead will be an absolute minimum. The scientific evidence makes it...

Human pressure on the natural environment is widening and escalating. Environmental threats to human wellbeing, health and survival has become evident over the past two to three decades.
Doctors for the Environment Australia seeks to raise awareness of the risks to local and global human health β present and future β from environmentally damaging and disruptive technological choices and related short-term economic priorities.
DEA is focussed on human-induced climate change, widely regarded as now the most serious, and growing, worldwide threat to human health and survival and to social stability.
In September 2019, Doctors for the Environment Australia declared a Climate Health Emergency and were supported by numerous medical organisations both in Australia and overseas.

DEA SUBMISSIONS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Zali Steggallβs climate change Bills (Nov 2020)
Submission: Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Bill 2023
October 30, 2023 - Dr. Shaun Watson & Dr. Cybele Dey appeared at the NSW Parliamentary inquiry (Planning and Environment Committee) into the Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Bill 2023 and presented DEA’s submission which was prepared by Drs Shaun Watson, Kim Loo and John Van Der Kallen. “…global health, and consequently the health of the people of NSW, is fundamentally dependent upon limiting climate warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” Our interpretation of the Bill in its entirety is that this target represents a minimum or ‘floor’ rather than a ‘ceiling’, and that the Net Zero Commission has the capacity to increase this...
Independent Australia: Australia needs to commit to target of net-zero emissions by 2050
March 2, 2020 - ...to the UN Summit in Glasgow later this year in an attempt to avoid signing up to a net-zero emissions target by 2050. If this is true, it would show there is still a long way to go on the path to redemption. Acceptance of science must include acceptance that the climate is in crisis and urgent action is essential.

Joint statement: Zero is good. Now we need to slash emissions in the most important decade of our lives
October 27, 2021 - ...superpower of renewable energies and clean industries. We have natural advantages that are the envy of the world. Credible action on climate will safeguard our communities, protect our health from climate impacts, and deliver an economic and jobs boon for Australia. Failure to act will leave communities and the places we love exposed to increasingly disastrous weather events, such as droughts, heatwaves, megafires and storms. It will also leave us lagging further behind in the global race for new industries based on renewable energy. Of particular concern with the announcement today is that the details of the deal the federal...
