Looking back at the past year, we asked what you thought our biggest achievements were:

  • Amplifying voices in the national conversion and empowering people to lead act and advocate, particularly over the Black Summer bushfires. 
  • Profiling the solutions, from the Clean Jobs Plan through to the Cities Power Partnership, together we’ve championed the people, politicians, & communities who are taking action.
  • Discrediting gas, and making sure more Australians understand why this harmful fossil fuel doesn’t need to be part of our economic recovery.

Some of our supporters summed up why they’re a proud part of the Climate Council community. Here’s more of what they had to say:

  • I respect and trust the work that you do and feel that your strategies are very well considered and intelligent. Your communications / resources and webinars are interesting and engaging – it’s great to see science finally being communicated effectively. You are a respected voice for action on climate change that is non biased and non political – I know I am getting the truth.  
  • The Climate Council informs & guides the community towards climate change solutions & brings us hope for the future. 
  • Thank you, the work you do is extremely important and it is vital that Australian’s have a loud and independent voice about this most pressing issue 
  • Because I believe that how facts and solutions to climate change are communicated can influence public sentiment and engagement with the issues and drive policy changes.
