set strong 2030 targets

Climate change is already hurting our community and environment – we can see heat waves and bushfires getting more frequent and severe. We have felt the smoke in our lungs, watched sea levels rise, and weather become more extreme.

We are in the critical decade to stop this. The science tells us we must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees to avoid the worst climate impacts – yet our government does not have an adequate plan for Australia to do its fair share.

Climate change is already hurting our community and environment – we can see heat waves and bushfires getting more frequent and severe. We have felt the smoke in our lungs, watched sea levels rise, and weather become more extreme.

We are in the critical decade to stop this. The science tells us we must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees to avoid the worst climate impacts – yet our government does not have an adequate plan for Australia to do its fair share.

In the lead-up to the federal election, we're focusing our work in strategic electorates, including the Ryan (QLD) and North Sydney (NSW).

Ryan is a marginal seat with a very high existing climate vote, and local MP Julian Simmonds is highly receptive to community pressure to stand up for climate action within the Liberal party. He’s already facing increasing levels of climate concern in his electorate, which we can build upon. This is an opportunity to force a break in the climate stalemate in Queensland, a crucial Liberal heartland.

In the North Sydney electorate, local MP Trent Zimmerman has been positioning himself as pro-climate action, but he’s not asking for enough from his party when it comes to legislating strong targets for this decade. His government’s targets are not aligned with what people in this electorate want, or what’s needed. Let’s keep the pressure up and draw more people into this conversation!

Call on your local MP to become the champion for climate action. That means pushing the Liberals to adopt strong climate targets of at least 75% by 2030, in line with climate science, and then ensuring comprehensive policy is put in place to reach these goals.

Dear MP Julian Simmonds,

I’m a local in your electorate of Ryan who cares about climate change. I want to thank your government for setting a net zero emissions by 2050 target – but today I’m urging you to go further.

Climate change is already hurting our community and environment – we can see heat waves and bushfires getting more frequent and severe. In our electorate, we have seen more weird weather, more frequent storms and more hot days.

We are in the critical decade to stop this. The science tells us we must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees to avoid the worst climate impacts – yet your government does not have an adequate plan for Australia to do its fair share.

In fact, at the recent climate talks in Glasgow, 40 countries signed a pledge to phase down coal. Meanwhile, your government is still actively working to expand the coal and gas industries in Queensland.

As my local MP, I’m calling on you to become a champion for climate action. That means pushing the Liberals to adopt strong climate targets of at least 75% by 2030, in line with climate science, and making a plan to phase out coal and gas.

Our community supports strong climate action – it’s time you do the same.
