ALCA welcomes the release of the report and the announcements made by Tanya Plibersek, Minister for the Environment and Water

ALCA recommends that the National Drought Agreement be revised to more clearly allow for environmental management and programs that directly underpin sustainable agriculture.

ALCA’s submission notes the need to expand weed management activities in light of the increased community knowledge, expectations, and anticipated Federal funding.

ALCA’s submission highlights the opportunity to leverage nature-based solutions to address the connected threats of climate change and biodiversity loss.

We welcome today’s announcement that, if elected, a Labor government would commit to protecting at least 30 per cent of Australia’s land and 30 per cent of Australia’s sea by 2030 (30X30) and establish an independent environment protection agency.

ALCA welcomes any initiative that has the potential to improve the focus, coordination and collaboration of key organisations and their resources in combatting Australia’s most environmentally destructive weeds.
