Climate Change Act Review consultation 2024-25 (closed)

Public consultation on the 2024-25 Independent Review of the Climate Change (State Action) Act 2008 (the Act) was open between late July and late September 2025.

What is the review?

The Act requires an independent review of its operation to be undertaken every four years. The current independent review will consider how the Act is supporting climate change action in Tasmania and how it might be improved. The 2024-25 review will also consider climate change governance arrangements in Tasmania.

More information about the Act and the independent review Terms of Reference are available on Tasmania’s climate change legislation webpage

Review progress

The Act requires broad consultation as part of the independent review, specifically with the Tasmanian community, relevant business, industry, scientific, environmental and community bodies, children and young people, local government, and relevant unions and representative groups.

The independent review website provides a discussion paper, and a timeline of the review process and completed consultation activities.

You can sign up to the Climate Change Office newsletter to stay in touch as the review progresses. It is expected that the independent review final report will be completed by the end of 2025.

Submissions to the review will be published on this page.
