The Climate Rescue Accord began as climate policy talks between political parties. The resulting Accord working group committed to: pursue what was required to stop and reverse warming, build a suite of policy options that underpin the 3Rs: reduce, remove and repair, get other parties, independents and organisations on board. The Climate Rescue Accord working group will present on the 3Rs, work to date, next steps and ways to get involved.
