It’s time to raise Australia’s energy efficiency standards

Hear from Climate Councillor and ecologist Prof. Lesley Hughes about the primary industries responsible for methane production and the solutions we need to slash its pollution.

Did you know that half of Aussies living in our five biggest cities don’t have access to frequent, convenient and reliable public transport? This is a huge barrier to using public transport, a form of getting from A to B, that could slash costs of living and climate pollution at the same time.

We are living through worsening climate-fuelled disasters right now. Emergency services are overwhelmed by the increasing frequency, intensity and destructiveness of out of control fires, floods and storms.

Our national environment law does not take climate change into account when assessing proposed fossil fuel projects… Watch our latest video to find out why, and how we can fix it.

Some of the biggest car companies – Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi and Mazda – want to pump the brakes on new vehicle efficiency standards. They don’t mind that Aussies are paying too much for petrol-guzzling, high polluting cars because that’s how they make their profits.

Everything we do now matters. We have a plan to electrify the nation, cut climate pollution by 75% this decade and put us on track to end climate pollution by 2035. We can do this now. We must do this now. For our kids.

The music sector is facing the brunt of climate impacts while our government continues to approve new fossil fuel projects. Live music events will continue being impacted – and cancelled – unless we fix our national environment law to consider climate impacts and drastically cut our climate emissions this decade.

What is it about our urban places that make them so hot and what can we do to design a cooler future in the face of climate change?

Join us as we take a tour around the world to see which countries are leading the charge, and what Australia needs to do to join them.
