Unlocking Australia’s clean energy potential

Australia is a sunburnt country with some of the best renewable energy resources in the world. Almost half of our electricity already comes from the sun and wind, and over 40% of homes have solar panels. Solar, wind, and battery storage give Australia the foundations to become a clean energy manufacturing and export powerhouse. But we’ve got a long way to go. Climate change poses an urgent and existential threat to communities and to nature. To genuinely cut pollution, protect nature and support communities, the transition to clean energy needs to be both fast and fair.

Australia is one of the world’s largest fossil fuel exporters. The pollution from our coal and gas exports dwarfs our domestic footprint and is a major driver of global environmental degradation and global warming. We work to protect nature and the climate by opposing new fossil fuel developments, strengthening environmental and cultural heritage protections, and supporting regions to plan for economic futures beyond coal and gas. By creating the conditions for fossil fuels to decline and clean alternatives to grow, we help shift Australia toward a cleaner, more prosperous future.
