A new report says Victoria’s disadvantaged communities are at risk of being left behind in the fight against global warming.
The council’s ‘A Climate of Fairness’ report says, “If you are struggling to keep up with day-to-day expenses, protecting yourself from the impacts of climate change can be an insurmountable challenge.”
Council chief executive Emma King says the state government should scrap moves to make renters help pay for solar panels as well as provide support that addresses the financial, health and social impacts of climate change on the community.
