Australia’s Climate Change Authority has recommended a campaign to fight misinformation and expand the government’s $67 billion Capacity Investment Scheme.
The authority, chaired by former New South Wales Energy Minister Matt Kean, unveiled multiple strategies to help Australia reach net zero by 2050.
Among them, was a campaign to stop misinformation, along with strategies to improve the social licence for net zero.
“Develop a dedicated, independent information and engagement campaign to combat mis- and dis-information and to build climate literacy and understanding of the Net Zero Plan,” the authority said (pdf).
The report also recommended expanding the Albanese government’s Capacity Investment Scheme, a $67 billion plan to deliver 32 gigawatts of capacity and help achieve Australia’s 82 percent renewable electricity by 2030.
