Climate Change Response Strategy
Climate change is a key strategic issue for Hydro Tasmania and presents a significant risk to our future operations.
Hydro Tasmania has developed a Climate Change Response Strategy to protect and better position the business. This will enable us to maximise the opportunities presented by climate change and enable us to play a key role as an advocate locally and nationally.
