Climate change in Victoria

Climate change in Victoria affects various environments and industries, including agriculture.

Victoria's emissions decreased from 123.23 million tonnes in 2005 to 84.72 million tonnes in 2022 representing a reduction of 31.3% over this time period.

The state's infrastructure was not built with extreme weather in mind, and is therefore considered to be unprepared according to a report by Infrastructure Victoria - it estimates that disaster recovery may cost $1,000,000,000,000 by 2100.

In 2021, the Victorian government released its Climate Change Strategy.

In 2024, the Victorian government approved a new license for a gas project on Victoria's Great Ocean Road. From 2024 and onward, gas connections in new homes have been banned.

Power stations are not required to install fabric filters, but health advocates have proposed it to the state government.

The Act requires that the Victorian government to set interim emissions reduction targets on the way to net zero emissions by 2050.

The Act has many of the features of typical framework climate legislation, including emissions reductions targets, mitigation strategies, adaptation plans. The Act requires the Victorian government to prepare sector-specific plans to adapt the state to climate change and mitigate emissions.
