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!
To learn more about how we replace coal and gas with clean energy and create jobs in future industries now, explore the Queensland CAN! report commissioned by ACF, the Queensland Conservation Council and World Wildlife Fund Australia.
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

It is vital that Queensland take a leadership role in its commitment to Climate action , especially as we are custodians of the Great Barrer Reef, and in the responsibility we have to the people of Torres Strait who are already facing sea level rises brought on by Climate Change.
We are already behind in implementing measures to set up for changing to clean energy. This can maintain and create jobs and industry if done well. Time to step up – for our future, our diverse environment and even our economy and international reputation.
I want Queensland to be a champion of renewable energy and for the greedy landowners and the government to stop mass clearing of trees for rearing of cattle. Go plant based!!
The whole planet needs saving !
I love this planet and I’ve read Saul Griffith’s book.
