Business, unions and green groups call for sustainable Covid-19 recovery with clean energy transition

Exclusive: Letter to national cabinet, energy ministers and Nev Power warns Australia's prosperity depends on cutting emissions

A cross-society collection of groups - representing business, the energy industry, property owners, unions, major investors, disadvantaged people and the environment - have banded together to warn that Australia's prosperity depends on eradicating greenhouse gas emissions.

In a letter to the national cabinet, federal and state energy ministers and Nev Power, Scott Morrison's handpicked Covid-19 recovery chairman, the 14 organisations have called for government support in the wake of the pandemic to urgently stimulate job growth and rebuild a sustainable and strong economy".
