The Climate Change Office will be working with government agency staff and decision makers to implement the Framework, by:

• building understanding and knowledge of climate change

• improving confidence to consider climate change risks and opportunities in government decision making

• ensuring adaptive management and continuous review and improvement.

The Framework complements other climate change action across government, including:

• implementing the government’s response to Tasmania’s first statewide risk assessment for climate change
  

• the Emissions Reduction and Resilience Plan for Government Operations

The Framework will be reviewed and updated regularly as it is implemented across agencies. The Framework is an action under Tasmania’s Climate Change Action Plan 2023‑25.
