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.
Petition demands
We call upon the Queensland Government to:
-
Slash Queensland’s climate pollution by at least half this decade
- Make Queensland a renewable energy superpower and creating 100,000 jobs in climate solutions

Jobs we can create in climate solutions

Our very survival and that of all life in Queensland and the world is at stake.
I want this because it’s shameful that Queensland with all its natural resources and also talent should be anything other than a renewable energy superpower.
I want Queensland to be a climate and nature champion because we must do everything we can to stabilise climate change and save as much nature as we can.
We need to protect the planet, reduce emissions drastically, and allow our worst affected natural habitats to regrow and replenish. This can begin here, in Queensland, by choosing to provide jobs
through sustainable, climate-friendly power sources, rather than leaving filthy, gaping holes in our planet from digging out tonnes and tonnes of limited fossil fuels and using other non renewable power sources which will inevitably run out sooner or later. If we don’t act now, what do we do when fossil fuels run out? AS THEY WILL!
We need to take climate action now, our beautiful flora and fauna will all be dead if we don’t
I want a habital planet for my kids and their kids
We need action in favour of the environment and climate now. No more ‘new’ fossil fuel sources should be permitted.
Mother Earth can only take so much abusive from humanity before she will react.. climate change is one aspect of her reactions… we can prevent this with proper intelligent forward planning for a better world.
I want Queensland to be a climate and nature champion because the threat of anthropogenic climate change is rapidly diminishing Australia’s important biodiversity.
