Take Strong Climate Action and Build a Positive Renewable Future
The climate crisis is one of the biggest threats to our biodiversity and way of life, and while we have the clean energy solutions we need to bring down emissions, we need leadership from the State Government. Queensland's existing emissions reduction target of 30% by 2030 is well below the national 43% target and even further behind the climate science.
Sign our petition to call on the Queensland Government and Opposition to step up their ambition on climate change and build renewable energy in the right places.
We're asking them to:
- Commit to slashing Queensland’s climate pollution by at least 60% on 2005 levels by 2030, 70% by 2032 and 90% by 2035. To meet this increased ambition commit to no new coal and gas projects.
- Bring forward the build of new solar and wind farms, and repower our electricity system to be in line with 1.5 degree of warming.
- Improve the State's planning frameworks and regional mapping so we can rapidly roll out renewable energy while protecting biodiversity.
