However, there are differing views when it comes to how fast we need to act, the costs and who should pay.<\/p>\n<p>Our challenge is to convince people that urgent action is not only required, but is also in their immediate economic interests. To do that, we need to overcome the common objections and myths that dampen enthusiasm for change, and emphasise the benefits in terms of jobs, and a more resilient and sustainable Australia. In short, we need to flip the frame that \u2018climate action is harmful to economic prosperity\u2019 to \u2018climate action is crucial to economic prosperity\u2019. At the same time, we must explain why the coal and gas industries are not a solution because fossil fuel projects are financially risky, dangerous, expensive and worsen climate change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CC_MVSA0230-Communications-Guide-Economics-Climate_V3-FA_Low_Res_Single_Pages.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CC_MVSA0230-Communications-Guide-Economics-Climate_V3-FA_Low_Res_Single_Pages.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/just-get-on-with-it-cover.png\" alt=\"The front cover of the Just Get On With It communications guide.\" width=\"620\" height=\"876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/just-get-on-with-it-cover.png 620w, https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/just-get-on-with-it-cover-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/donate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you like this communications guide?
