In this submission, Comms Declare notes that restricting fossil fuel advertising on government assets is a clear, proportionate and immediately actionable measure available
to the ACT Government – and should be included in the ACT’s next Climate Strategy.
It supports public health, strengthens policy coherence, and reduces the influence of vested interests that profit from continued pollution. By aligning the public communications environment with the ACT’s climate commitments, a Territory-wide Fossil Fuel Advertising Ban (FAB) would reinforce emissions reduction efforts, support behaviour change, and ensure government-owned spaces are not used in ways that undermine the transition to a net zero, climate-ready Territory.
