Climate need not corporate greed

The most powerful lobby group in Australia - the polluting industries like coal, cement, aluminium and mining - is currently swarming the halls of Parliament, trying to convince Kevin Rudd to allow them to continue to destroy our climate.

Send a message to Kevin Rudd today, before the Government meets with environment groups next Thursday. He's there to represent our interests, not the polluters' - tell him to put climate need over corporate greed.

Dear Mr Rudd,

Our economic and environmental prosperity depend on Australia taking bold action on climate change. We call on you to set an emissions reduction target of 50% of 1990 levels by 2020, and to ensure Australia’s emissions begin declining by 2010.

Let's hit our new target of 40,000!

39,427 have joined this campaign - help us get to 40,000.


We have achieved 98.57% of our goal. Let’s keep going!

The Latest on this Campaign

Climate Action Now

Friday, 16 May 2008
The Rudd Government announced their first Budget this week yet severely missed the opportunity to address vital climate change issues, instead continuing to fund polluters with over $3bn worth of subsidies per year to fossil fuel industries.

As reports emerge highlighting the need for urgent action on climate change to slow global warming, GetUp is urging members to use the billions of dollars worth of tax cuts outlined in the Budget to fight climate change.

Join our 'climate need not corporate greed' campaign or donate to our Climate Change Fund now.
