We are facing a climate crisis.
Fires, floods and drought – we are feeling the impacts right now. There are good solutions, but our government is paralysed, so it’s up to us to act. Join with us for effective action.

Sign up to the Safe Climate Declaration.
Join prominent national leaders in a historic call for climate leadership to address the climate threat. The Safe Climate Declaration calls for strengthened democracy, and fast action:
– Cutting greenhouse gas emissions rapidly to zero. All fossil fuel expansion to be stopped immediately; policies which encourage fossil fuel use halted and subsidies removed; and the existing industry wound down rapidly with adjustment programmes for frontline communities. Strategies to minimise methane emissions need to be implemented urgently.
– Drawing down atmospheric carbon concentrations to a safe level from the current 413 ppm level through actions that include redesigning agricultural and forestry practices and implementing extensive soil, estuarine and ocean carbon sequestration.
– Working to prevent tipping points and damage while the zero emission and drawdown goals are being achieved.
– Integrating adaptation and resilience measures into the economic restructuring needed to restore a safe climate and repair ecosystems.
