Queenslanders, we have an incredible opportunity.
We know that our state's coal and gas is contributing to immense global climate harm - fuelling more severe droughts, floods, fires and storms across our communities and inflicting catastrophic damage on our precious Great Barrier Reef.
We're seeing that wherever in the world our gas and coal is burnt, whether it's here or overseas, we pay a terrible price at home.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Our Sunshine State has the skills and the opportunity to transform itself into a renewable energy superpower, creating long-term jobs and economic security for our regions, and helping to restore and protect the natural places we all love.
But we must act now - to stop new coal and gas projects, to turn away from fossil fuel exports and to slash emissions.
Sign the petition. We need everyone to call on our state government to invest in making Queensland a climate and nature champion.
Working together, Queensland CAN!
To learn more about how we can ditch fossil fuels and create jobs in future industries now, explore the Queensland CAN! report commissioned by ACF, the Queensland Conservation Council and World Wildlife Fund Australia.
