Tax the polluters not the environment, say Australians
New research released today shows that Australian support for mining industry subsidies remains deeply unpopular.
We are the caretakers for this beautiful country. We need to ensure we pass on a healthy Australia to our children and seize every opportunity to build a clean, green and safe environment.
Climate change & energy
Climate change threatens our wellbeing, environment and economy. We can cut carbon pollution, create jobs and shift to clean energy that lasts forever, like wind and solar.
Climate change educators share their skills
Climate leaders are working together to create teaching resources which can be used across the Asia-Pacific region.
What is climate change?
Climate change is the consequence of unchecked pollution. When carbon emissions caused by human activity enter the air they have dangerous effects on the environment, the economy, and our wellbeing.
A price on pollution
A price on the pollution that businesses generate is the simplest and most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and permanently address the problem of climate change.
Clean energy solutions
The transition to a clean energy economy is slowly ramping up in Australia. Find out what’s happening now and how we are investing in a clean energy economy.
The Climate Reality Project
Our Climate Reality Project presenters help citizens around the world discover the truth about the climate crisis and take meaningful steps to bring about change
Fossil fuel subsidies
Australian taxpayers subsidise fossil fuel-friendly tax breaks for miners. With your support we now have a real price on pollution. We suspect Australians think there are better ways to spend our taxes than handouts to the country's biggest polluters.
Heatwaves and global warming
It’s common knowledge that one of the main effects of global warming is an increase in the number and severity of extreme weather events.
Jobs in a clean economy
We work with peak organisations to develop initiatives that encourage the creation of clean energy jobs. Our shared aim is to smooth the transition to a clean energy economy and genuinely tackle climate change.
Coal seam gas
Australia is experiencing a rapid expansion in coal seam gas mining and exploration. ACF supports a moratorium on all CSG mining in Australia until proper scientific studies have been undertaken.
