Householders reducing their carbon footprint

As Queenslanders, we enjoy a high standard of living. However, this lifestyle of enjoying the convenience of carbon intensive goods and services has contributed to changes to our atmosphere that are driving climate change.

Queensland communities are at risk from the impacts of climate change through potential damage to homes and community infrastructure from our changing climate, rising prices for climate-sensitive goods and services, and impacts on health and well-being.
