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.

Don’t let us lag behind the world, if we act now we still have time to save the planet for our children and the next generations.
We have so many resources and so much scientific knowledge to create a sustainable, renewable world. The nonsense of right wing political agendas has got to go. Climate change is already getting closer to a tipping point. Let’s aim for a bright and healthy future
We need to move with the times and not live in the past, innovation is the way forward and as humans we are more than capable of readapting to cleaner solutions for energy sources that preserve the only planet we and our future generations get to live on. This is possible and we know it. Educate, collaborate and create change!
I strongly support the opinions of ACF on climate change remedies. We need a healthy planet for all life.
Australian’s should be concerned about the UN’s recently ranking us last for countries tackling climate change. This is a time for action and it is very clear and obvious to anybody who takes the time to do the research that our current government is being heavily swayed by fossil fuel corporations. Enough is enough. With a federal election looming in 2022 please do your research, look into the environmental policies of your preferred party, question them, then decide how you want Australia’s future to look. Vote Environment.
CO2 levels globally are at their highest in 4 million years. The IEA says no new oil, coal or gas can be developed if we are to have any chance of hitting the 1.5 degree goal of the Paris Agreement. Time to end all subsidies for fossil fuels and fast track renewable energy in all sectors of the economy.
Lets stop messing around. We know its inevitable that we have to move away from fossil fuels, our hesitancy is harming the environment, and our longterm economic future.
The news tells us daily of catastrophic climate events around the world that we cannot ignore. We can start right now by investing in renewables, creating jobs and creating a future liveable world for our children and children’s children. Listen to the people, stop, look and listen to the earth now.
You must do better now!
time is limited! We can’t continue these environmental impacts! Global warming is on our doorstep!
The cost of clean energy are cheaper than fossil fuels, what are we waiting for?
Considering the current strong evidence, studies and projected outcomes from the specialists around the globe, I would recommend to consider the following advice.
I’m sure some of these crises must be a lie to get people back up because surely the Australian government isn’t so stupid to destroy our tourist attractions because I’m sure it’s not what the people of Australia want at all
The global risk is that catastrophic weather events, as we are seeing now, will become so frequent that our civilization will not have the time and resources to recover between events. The potential for social, economic and political meltdowns are truly frightening.
