Climate Action Now

The Prime Minister will make his decision on carbon reduction targets in less than 4 weeks. We need a much stronger response than is currently looking likely but we'll only get there by telling the government: "we're up for it".

Our climate action petition is on the verge of becoming our biggest ever petition.

At this crucial time, put your name to our petition below (and then ask your friends to do the same!).

UPDATE:We've passed 100,000 names. 110,000 would make this the largest online petition in Australian history. Can you help us get there?

I want my government to take sweeping action to dramatically cut greenhouse pollution, shift to clean energy and solve the climate crisis now.

Climate Action Now




The past twelve months have seen the Rudd government ratify the Kyoto Protocol, countries come together to move forward United Nations climate negotiations and groups like GetUp wage a national campaign here in Australia for strong carbon pollution reduction targets. The Government commissioned the Garnaut report on climate change, which found that the economic cost of not acting on climate change is far greater than the cost of taking early action to reduce emissions. But Kevin Rudd is yet to decide on his target to reduce Australia’s carbon pollution by 2020. GetUp is running a campaign – with this petition at the centre – in these last crucial weeks.
