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 and not let the opportunity slip through our fingers.
Sign the petition. We need thousands of us calling on our state government to invest in making Queensland a climate and nature champion.
Working together, Queensland CAN!

Petition demands
We call upon the Queensland Government to:
-
Make our climate safe: Slash Queensland's climate pollution by at least half this decade; slash methane emissions from existing coal and gas infrastructure; ban new coal and gas infrastructure
-
Protect our nature: Establish an Environmental Protection Authority for Queensland; protect 100 hectares of Queensland forest this decade
-
Clean up our exports and create green jobs: Create a renewable-powered exports industry to replace coal and gas exports, with 100,000 climate-positive careers for communities; guarantee jobs for fossil fuel workers
Jobs we can create in climate solutions

Time is running out to take real action to reduce the impacts of climate change and end the use of fossil fuels as soon as possible.
I want Queensland to be a nature champion so our kids can enjoy its beauty
It’s time for a better way
Queensland should be the Australian leader in green innovation. Qld must act now to move forward to now only keep pace with others states, but to move to the front of the line. We have everything to loose if government acts otherwise.
Please-do it for our grandchildren and to build a prosperous future.

Action is needed and the time is now.
COAL KILLS from pollution to global warming. Politicians who continue to support coal mining for burning will one day be charged with a Crime against Humanity.
Coal has many other uses from lithium to graphene. Why are we not supporting these well documented, value added processes?

We have to play our part in looking after our planet
ALL of Qld needs to wake up and attack climate change with a vengeance. Summer is coming – heat and floods – CLIMATE CHANGE IS HERE! No such nonsense as 2030 or 2050 – IT’S HERE. If we are to survive then we have to OUTLAW COAL MINES, STOP CUTTING DOWN OLD GROWTH FOREST,
Queensland can lead the long overdue move to renewable energy. We need government leadership now more than ever to protect our state, our country and the world.
I want QLD to be a leader in environmental change for the sake of our generation and those that follow. 🙏
I want Queensland to be a climate champion because we are in the middle of a climate crisis with no more time to lose and we are well placed to be one of the nation’s and world’s leaders when it comes to renewables and green alternatives to fossil fuels. We can make it happen.
I want Queensland to become a Climate and nature champion because we can. Not only will it be good for jobs and the economy, but this action will benefit my family and all families who can continue to enjoy, care for and live in harmony with creation.
Queensland needs to take real action on climate change.
Stop mining coal!
Listen to the experts; it’s nearly too late.
We need to be acting now to preserve our natural habitat and species, for future generations to enjoy and because it will mitigate climate change!
Why not lead the way and know that this too will create jobs for all Queenslanders.
Let us create a supportive natural way of living and support our leaders to implement the best knowledge to support nature.
