Over two days of the summit, the Policy Paper on Climate Change (drafted by CAGs before the summit) was presented and debated.

The voting system used to decide on the acceptance or rejection of recommendations involved;

• "Green" - we support this recommendation as is, no changes required
• "Orange" - we could support this recommendation, subject to a few minor changes being made
• "Red" - we could not support this recommendation without major changes

Of the 81 recommendations put to participants, 54 recommendations received "Green" majority support. Four recommendations including recommendations around nuclear power were rejected during this session.

Full details of the voting results and ongoing areas for decisions can be found here. If you just want to see the policies that were agreed to, read this one instead.

Upcoming Work.

While the "Green" policy recommendations do not represent the views of the Climate Movement or individual groups, they helped to crystalise where climate action groups stand on key policy positions. This will greatly facilitate the completion of a policy sign-on statement for groups in coming weeks.

The overall response to the policy process was amazing and we now have a national policy team comprising of over 15 keen and informed individuals from almost every state and territory in Australia. We are in the process of working on the new timeline for Draft 3 and will be in touch with further details on when this will be ready.

If you would like to remain engaged on the Policy paper and vote on future iterations as we work towards a final sign-on statement, please email a member of the policy drafting team and we can add you to the list:
