Climate change

The scientific consensus is that climate change is real, it is affecting society now and if left unchecked will cause immense socio-economic and environmental impact (Garnaut 2008). Climate is very relevant to Moreton Bay Regional Council.

In 2009, Council commissioned a study to identify high level climate change risk.

The Scoping Climate Change Risk for the Moreton Bay Regional Council report (document opens in new window) [PDF 2.5MB] highlighted the need for Council to coordinate its actions for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Council has since adopted a  climate change policy (document opens in new window) [PDF 35KB] and and a climate change road map [PDF 1MB].

Council is currently developing a climate change strategy.
