Seize the Decade

Our plan to empower Australian communities and cut climate pollution by 75% this decade.

Priorities

We’re all about maximum impact. That means we’re focused on the areas with the potential to drive the biggest cuts to climate pollution this decade. These are:

Clean, Abundant Energy

Australia’s national grid is already powered by 40% renewables.

Cleaning up transport

We have all the solutions we need to give Australians cleaner choices for getting around.

The Climate Council is a courageous catalyst for climate action.

We’re working to create the massive, society-wide change needed to end climate pollution and keep our kids safe. Because there’s not a minute to waste.

How we’re driving change:

World-class research and analysis so we’re all armed with the facts.

Persuasive media and communications to ensure climate action remains an urgent priority.

Influential policy & advocacy to ensure decision makers take up the climate solutions we need.
