Queenslanders, our sunshine state has the tools and talent to become a renewable energy superpower – and shift away from digging and burning fossil fuels that drive climate impacts.
Ramping up climate solutions now will create long-term jobs in our regions, help restore our incredible forests and slash climate pollution this decade. But we need to act now or let the opportunity slip through our fingers.
Sign the petition. We need thousands of us to call on our state government to invest in the solutions and make Queensland a climate and nature champion. Together Queensland CAN!
For more information on how Queensland can slash pollution and create jobs in future industries this decade, see the brand new Queensland CAN! report commissioned by ACF, Queensland Conservation Council and World Wildlife Fund Australia.

It would make me very proud to be that kind of Queenslander.. it would lead to better access to renewable energy for all queenslanders, it would ensure a healthy future for my grandchildren and set standards for the whole country..
Let’s get Queensland at the top of the list on climate action and shake things up.
Queensland has the highest emissions in Australia due to the amount of coal and gas that is being mined. I think we could very well lead action in Queensland because instead of degrading our environment we could be saving it and showcasing the wonderful and unique lands, view, relics, sites and cultures contained within our vast and scenic lands.
Being a climate champion is being on the right side of future history.
It’s time now, not later, now for you the people i voted for to take positive climate solutions for the benefit of our planet.
I want to be a climate and nature champion because we owe it to future generations to try to save our planet from further destructive climatic disasters. We have nowhere else to live!
Why can’t we be climate champions. Qld!!!lead the way
I would like Queensland to lead the country with a shift from fossil fuel to focusing on the innovative solutions which will provide employment and give Queenslanders a sense of pride from these decisions.
Because it is essential and we can.
Our state needs to stop approving projects that increase water, soil and air pollution. Stop approving coal and gas projects – Cut our climate pollution by at least half this decade.
Back industries producing renewable energy and using sustainable processes.
Create and subsidise jobs in climate solutions, nature restoration, & sustainable land management.
Give the Environmental Protection Agency power to investigate breaches of the intention of protective laws and prosecute accordingly.
Replanting so many native forests in Qld is so very important, both for the diversity of species of flora and fauna but also to help rebalance what has been lost. Revegetation projects should be our number one focus.
