CLIMATE POLICY
LEAD FROM THE FRONT.
Ensure your policies are 1.5° aligned.
WHAT IS CLIMATE POLICY?
Climate policy refers to a set of strategies, regulations, and actions adopted by governments and organisations to address climate change.
Non oppositional climate policies aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote renewable energy, enhance energy efficiency, prepare for climate impacts, and foster global cooperation.
THE INFLUENCE SANDWICH.
Membership associations have a top down and bottom-up opportunity when it comes to climate policy. We call this the influence sandwich.
​
You can lead by example and get your own house in order and simultaneously push your members to take credible climate action, and lobbying for legislation, change, standards and support.
​
The flow of policies within your association should be
-
Establishing your internal policy position.
-
Establishing and communicating policy surrounding the expectation and requirements of your members.
-
Representing and advocating externally the needs of your members to government to ensure policies, finances, frameworks, legislations etc. are in place to support the industry / profession that your membership organisation represents.
