The Australian Climate Dividend (ACD) is a policy framework designed to progressively reduce carbon- dioxide (CO2) emissions at the lowest economic and political cost.
This campaign focused on "centrist" politicians. The voices of Citizens’ Climate Lobby members are needed at every level – at the national and local level – in our communications with politicians, in the media and with family, friends and broader community to build and support the centre of politics. By engaging our supporters and growing our chapters in the electorates of centrist MPs, CCL can assist them in supporting a more bipartisan approach to addressing climate change.
This campaign focussed on growing and supporting the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition: "CCL is helping to activate the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC) in Australia. This international coalition “brings together leaders from government, business, civil society and academia to support carbon pricing, share experiences and enhance the global, regional, national and sub-national understanding of carbon pricing implementation. The CPLC Secretariat is administered by The World Bank Group”"
This campaign called for a climate smart recovery to the COVID-19 pandemic: Re-building the economy and re-building from the disruptions to everyday life presents great opportunities to ‘build back better’ with stimulus packages that promote a climate-smart recovery of a faster transition to renewable energy and zero net carbon emissions and a more liveable world.
Amongst other impacts, the effects of warming conditions on the Keppel region reefs are of particular concern as predictions are that coral bleaching will become an annual event within the next 30-50 years time. Reducing greenhouse emissions is the key to halting and reversing anthropogenic climate change impacts. CCC is continually lobbying the State and Federal Governments to reduce Australia’s greenhouse emissions and to urge other countries to do so too through agreements such as the Kyoto protocol.
