Climate change 

Climate change is here and we need to deal with it. The Northern Territory must position itself to deal with national and international responses to climate change.

The Northern Territory Government has created the Office of Climate Change within the Department of the Chief Minister and is developing a Northern Territory climate change policy.

Community input on the Discussion Paper on NT Climate Change Issues will inform the policy which is expected to be finalised in February 2009. A climate change website is being developed to inform and engage Territorians.

The Northern Territory Government supported Alice Springs becoming Alice Solar City, which aims to make Alice Springs a model for the rest of Australia and the world to follow.

Energy Smart Rebate NT

The Energy Smart Rebate NT provides eligible households with rebates on selected energy saving items, such as timers for pool pumps.  The rebate will help Territory households do their part to save power, save money on their electricity bill and reduce their carbon footprint.
