Our climate is changing. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute to climate change. The impacts of climate change pose a risk of harm to human health and the environment from pollution and waste. Climate change impacts the health and wellbeing of Traditional owners, cultural values and Country.
We are all responsible for taking climate action. Governments, industry, business, and community all have an important role.
The Victorian Government is working to reach net zero emissions by 2045.
EPA supports the government’s climate action. Our 2022-27 Strategic Plan outlines our commitment to act on climate change.
