Climate Action Now

The polluter lobby must not set the terms of the debate around climate solutions. We know this issue is too important and the costs of inaction will affect every aspect of our economy and our lives. Our farmers are crippled by drought. Bush fires are breaking out earlier every year. We're facing record-breaking heat waves, increasing water scarcity and intensifying cyclones and storms. Each of us with hopes for our future, or with children and grandchildren who will be left with our mess, must act now.

Get on the Climate Action Map and join our movement for real action on climate change.

[For the media] The Latest on this Campaign Climate Action Now Monday, 15 December 2008 *NEWS FLASH* Government announces emissions targets of just 5% by 2020. The Rudd Government has announced a weak emissions target of just 5% by 2020 with an option to go to 15% only if pushed internationally. Show the Government your concerns about a level so low it will destroy sites like the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu by answering this question: Regardless of who you traditionally support, does today's announcement make you less likely to vote for the ALP at the next election? Yes or No. The Latest on this Campaign Climate Action Now Friday, 12 December 2008 On the 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights the Government has announced it will be consulting the Australia public on what human rights means to them. This is a once in a lifetime chance to call for a Human Rights Act to permanently protect human rights in Australia. They're your rights, so have your say - make your submission now. GetUp has spoken out against suggestions that the Government may have settled on an emissions reduction target range of five to 15 per cent on 2000 levels by 2020, a level which neither constitutes a genuine response or protects Australia's economic and environmental future.
