The world's scientists and governments agree. The time to stop climate damage is now.
And we have the solutions here, now — and ready to go.
On October 31, the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) will bring world leaders together to decide on the action we all take to ensure a healthy and safe future.
Let’s tell our elected representatives to get behind the solutions we all agree on, before this crucial moment.
Australia is one of the sunniest, windiest places on earth — we have huge opportunities to power our lives with clean, renewable energy this decade and export our sunshine to the world.
We can’t wait any longer. Climate damage is here. The solutions we need are available and ready to renew our communities.
Call on our elected representatives to work together and do better.
They must act now to secure and create climate-positive jobs and do our part to cut pollution this decade — to keep people and wildlife safe from dangerous, climate-fuelled bushfires, droughts and storms.
Australia has the abundant clean energy, the tools and the talent to do the job. Let’s get on with it.
Sign this open letter to all Members and Senators in the Australian Parliament.
Open letter
To all Members and Senators in the Australian Parliament:
-
Power our communities and transport with clean energy. Replace coal and gas with renewable energy in the next decade.
-
Send our sunshine around the world with clean energy exports like green hydrogen, steel and aluminium.
-
Get coal and gas money out of politics and put people back in. Stop accepting dirty donations from coal and gas companies and ban big political donations to reduce their influence on decision-making.
-
Save our big backyard: protect and restore our forests, wetlands and mangroves for our climate and for the animals that call them home.

Government should put money into solar wind and hydro power clean energy sources that don’t pollute and damage the environment, that is kind to our flora and fauna.
Let’s try andclean up our act..1 personal at a time
Listen to the scientists and catch up with the rest of the world… Australia is an embarrassing laggard in addressing Climate Change.. I am ashamed that obvious vested interests are controlling our government policies.
Gas and coal are safe bets for government budgets as they can claim existing case studies which they pay for and influence. The crap about base load supported by first industrial revolution technology doesn’t make any future sense. If the largest consumers, the household and small business, are able to create power at the point of use then the base load is protected for large demand users such as heavy industry. But, no matter how many names are gathered in support of common sense the only thing that will sway voters is a business strategy, a plan. I’m sure that many of your supporters, myself included, are capable of achieving this strategy. The average voter needs to be informed in a manner they can comprehend and then you may get the leverage we need. Long distance power delivery by cable with a significant loss in supply voltage makes every tower a potential point of failure. The media turned the Adelaide power loss into a renewable energy failure while the real failure was the 100 year old technology. Everything in the media is paid for by someone. Your thoughts ?
Please clean our country don’t think about just do it
Australia’s stance in subsidising & encouraging coal & gas supply is totally reprehensible.
