About

Fossil Fuels program
Stopping the biggest new gas projects from going ahead is one of the most effective ways we can collectively address climate change in the place that we love and want to protect. We are working on multiple fronts to strengthen government climate policies and legislation to protect our state. Our vision will move Western Australia beyond gas by building local community power and supporting the WA climate movement. What we do in WA today will impact the world. CCWA is determined to lead that change. Scroll down to read about our Fossil Fuels campaigns!

GO BEYOND GAS
Together, we can build the community power necessary to shift the politics of fossil gas in WA, stand up to WA’s biggest polluters and bring down emissions in our state. Our vision is to keep gas in the ground, ensure the state has strong climate legislation, and for WA to go beyond gas. We are building a sustainable and inclusive society that embraces renewable energy, strengthens community bonds, and safeguards the natural world for generations to come.

Main Issue of the Campaign:

Campaign Ran From: 2023 to 2025

Campaign Outcome:

Outcome Evidence: While the WA Government has numerous plans and targets for achieving the energy transition, recent reporting by the ABC in May 2024 states that 'Greenhouse gas emissions will reach record highs in WA this year and net zero targets for 2050 won't be reached, according to a secret report.' They also states 'Dr Hare said a 55 per cent reduction in the power sector was much too slow. Western Australia's take up of renewables is about half the rate of Australia. It really is disgraceful.' Similarly the Guardian reported in March 2024 that the 'Surge in WA emissions puts Australia’s net zero targets in doubt'. There is also no evidence that the politics of fossil gas in WA has yet shifted, with gas projects proceeding as usual. (Ascertained June 2024)
