Hosting the United Nations climate summit is a major opportunity to safeguard our region's security and ensure Australia's economic future as a clean energy powerhouse.| Climate Council
In their first term, the Albanese Government approved 27 new coal, oil and gas developments. The four new approvals this term brings the total to 31.| Climate Council
By powering ourselves with clean energy, we can eliminate almost all climate pollution caused by burning coal, oil and gas to generate electricity by the end of the decade.| Climate Council
As we power past gas, Australia can meet our own energy needs at all times and help our trading partners do the same. If we don’t there’s serious economic and environmental consequences.| Climate Council
Climate Council analysis shows more than two million batteries can be added at a household level, which wouldcollectively save Australians more than $4 billion a year on their power bills.| Climate Council
In this report, the Climate Council presents some key observations from the summer so far. What has it taught us about our changing climate, and how we need to respond?| Climate Council
We have huge potential to keep growing rooftop solar and storage in Australia, and so much to gain when we do: lower bills, less climate pollution and a more reliable grid. It’s time to cement our place as the world’s solar champions by going even bigger on solar now.| Climate Council
