Heat-related deaths in cities like Sydney and Darwin could surge more than 400%, overwhelming families and health systems.
Within 25 years, over 1.5 million people and vital coastal environments will be at risk from rising sea levels.
Natural disasters could cost Australia $40 billion every year by 2050, hitting families, communities and the economy.
Unchecked warming puts us on track for widespread crop failures, growing global instability, and the complete loss of coral reefs.
CLIMATE ACTION TO MATCH THE CRISIS
Australia needs climate action grounded in science and ready to meet the climate crisis.
- Commit to a science-based target that keeps warming under 1.5°C. Net zero by 2035 is consistent with the science and the Paris Agreement.
- Deliver a clear plan to phase out coal, gas and end native forest logging.
- Drive the transition with investment in renewable energy, clean transport and storage so pollution actually falls.
- Support workers and communities with a just transition as Australia shifts beyond fossil fuels.
Together, we win
This parliament has the chance to be the most progressive in a generation.
Voters gave the Greens the balance of power in the Senate — and with it, the responsibility to fight for real climate action.
We’re ready to work with Labor to deliver climate action and a plan that puts people and nature ahead of coal and gas. We’re just as ready to push back if fossil fuel corporations try to dictate Australia’s climate future.
Together we can win lasting climate action and a clear path to end coal and gas.
