After nearly two decades of “the climate wars”, the well-worn arguments for climate action are just not resonating with every Australian: Power: we must decarbonise our energy system. Prosperity: we must develop our green industries and clean tech. ∙Planet: we must do more to keep global temperature increases within safe limits. Rarely are these arguments brought together in a way that underscores the benefits for ordinary Australians. How will the transition to renewables keep electricity prices low for households? Given our reliance on fossil fuel exports, how will Australia avoid falling off an economic cliff in the coming decades, compromising quality of life for future generations? And are large swathes of the country soon at risk of weathering one climate-related disaster after another? In this clear-sighted volume – published in the year Australia hopes to host the UN’s COP31 Climate Conference – Woodroofe argues that Australia needs to elevate climate change to our top foreign, trade and economic policy priority. But we need to find a way to do so that makes sense from the Cabinet Room to boardrooms, and every lounge room across the mortgage belts, in the regions and beyond. Because the ingredients that made us The Lucky Country – reliable power, economic prosperity and the natural beauty of our part of the planet, are under threat.
