The Australian Conservation Foundation’s National Agenda for a Sustainable Australia
To accelerate the transition towards environmental sustainability, within Australia and internationally, our political leaders need to:
- Show real leadership and commit to making Australia environmentally sustainable by 2020
- Make deep cuts to Australia’s carbon pollution and lead in forging a new global agreement to avoid dangerous climate change
- Build smart, sustainable cities and towns
- Restore our rivers and ecosystems to health and protect our natural areas
- Secure an environmentally sustainable future for Northern Australia
- Help protect forests and fast track clean development pathways in the Asia-Pacific region
