Climate Action Now!

Climate Action Now!

This summer, Victoria was ravaged by unprecedented fires.

People lost their lives, their homes, and their businesses. Hundreds of millions of animals were killed, and ancient forests were destroyed.

Make no mistake: climate change is fuelling these fires, and coal is causing climate change.

We need to rapidly transition from coal to clean energy, and do it in a way that looks after people, workers and communities.

Send an email and ask your MPs to vote yes to climate action and renewable energy.

Lobby your MP on climate

First, we striked for the climate. Now our MPs need to feel the heat.

The reality is that Victorian Labor and Liberal MPs aren’t doing enough when it comes to climate change. To survive the worst impacts of climate change we need a transition to 100% renewables and commit to no new coal or gas.

Now is the time to demand urgent action from government. Tell your MP that you support the student strikers call to do more on climate change.

I’m concerned that our Victorian Parliament is not taking climate change seriously, and here’s why:

COAL

  • Around 40% of Victoria’s power still comes from burning coal, which is the biggest cause of climate change. Our three power stations are scheduled to run until 2048. This is far beyond when international climate scientists say we need to act. 

  • Yallourn coal power station in the Latrobe Valley is Australia’s dirtiest, most polluting coal power station. Yallourn needs to urgently be retired and replaced with new renewable energy, like the proposed ‘star of the south’ off-shore wind farm.

GAS

  • AGL is being supported by the Labor Government to build a gas import ship in pristine Westernport Bay. This would bring new gas into Victoria, possibly from fracking in the NT or Queensland, while Victoria is exporting the gas it already produces. It makes no sense.

  • The Labor Government is allowing new gas drilling in our oceans and on the land. They have opened up new sensitive ocean areas to drilling in the Otway and Gippsland basins and area also exploring for new gas along Victoria’s west and east coasts.

LOGGING

  • The Victorian Government is allowing logging our native forests in the Central Highlands and East Gippsland. These forests are home to endangered species like the Leadbeater’s possum but also are the most carbon-dense forests in the world.
