Sydney: Global day of climate action
As world leaders converge in New York for the UN Secretary-General's emergency Climate Summit next week, the world will be watching. Now's our chance to decide: how will history remember this moment?
Our Prime Minister will be a no show at the global emergency Climate Summit, which is hardly a surprise given his active efforts to dismantle a scheme that was working to make polluters pay and decrease carbon emissions, destroy our renewable energy funding and infrastructure and eliminating independent scientific advice from feeding into good climate policy decisions. But what that means is that it's now up to us to give world leaders the mandate to act on Australia's behalf. Let's make climate change history!
