But Will Hodgman says Tasmania leads the way in tackling climate change.

In Parliament on Wednesday, Greens leader Cassy O'Connor said that last week "an estimated 8000 passionate, frightened young Tasmanians gathered on Parliament's lawns to demand action on climate".

"Yesterday you laid out your government's agenda for the next three years and climate did not even rate a mention, yet you did touch on the bushfires, without acknowledging climate change, towards the end of your speech," Ms O'Connor said.

"People have lost their homes and their livelihoods and, as we speak, the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area is still burning."

Ms O'Connor said more than three per cent of Tasmania had "been torched" and asked what resources would be in the budget to "limit the damage caused by climate-related fire events".

Mr Hodgman said climate change was important to his government.

"Of course, climate change is an important issue for this government, which is why we have released strategies, policies and initiatives to deal with it in a practical way," he said.

"We take these matters seriously. We were one of the first jurisdictions to be emissions zero.

"We were actually net emissions state, which is a positive advancement for Tasmania, we are leading the world in many respects, and we intend to continue to do so."
