Our plan to empower Australian communities and cut climate pollution by 75 percent this decade.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s shift to clean energy is well underway – visible on our rooftops, in our homes, neighbourhoods and businesses. This not only cuts climate pollution, but also helps families reduce the costs of living, makes businesses more competitive and creates good jobs and new investment in our regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we still have a long way to go, and moving too slowly is dangerous. Digging up and burning coal, oil and gas is blanketing our planet in heat-trapping pollution that supercharges extreme weather. Australians are already weathering \u2018climate whiplash\u2019, as we\u2019re hurtled from flooding rains to scorching heatwaves and catastrophic bushfires, and back again. The only solution is to end climate pollution as quickly as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s decisions are shaping the kind of world our kids inherit. The choices our political and industry leaders make now will define how much the lives of today\u2019s young people are endangered and disrupted, and whether we can build the clean industries that create good, ongoing jobs and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
