The problem
Fossil fuel corporations have known for decades that burning coal, oil and gas causes climate change. The solution – clean renewable energy – exists and is ready to go. But the fossil fuel industry and its allies have prioritised their profits over our safety and done everything they can to delay the transition to clean energy. Now we’re in a climate emergency – and we can’t afford to wait any longer.
What does Greenpeace do?
At Greenpeace Australia Pacific we tackle the biggest issues that are standing in the way of a green and peaceful future. We use peaceful protest and creative confrontation to expose the biggest environmental threats in our region and around the globe. We promote solutions and advocate for climate justice.
Help end the age of fossil fuels
Right now, Greenpeace is working to take on the biggest polluters and stop new coal, oil and gas projects in Australia. We’re holding corporations and governments to account, taking direct action and investigating and exposing them.
We still have time. What happens next is in our hands.

It’s time to make polluters pay. If corporations paid fair taxes on their profits and pollution we could support communities impacted by climate change while also transitioning away from fossil fuels.
Woodside wants to drill up to 7 more wells for carbon dumping at Scott Reef and seismic blasting every 5 years in biologically important Pygmy Blue Whale habitat. The plans to drill for dirty gas from under beautiful Scott Reef for Woodside’s Burrup Hub just keep getting worse.
Woodside plans to drill up to 80 gas wells off the coast of WA in some of the world’s most biodiverse waters - including 50 wells around Scott Reef. Pristine coral reefs, pygmy blue whales, endangered turtles and countless other marine life in Western Australia's oceans are all at risk. We have the tools to stop Woodside. With your power behind us, we will.
Make sure the government pulls the plug on Woodside’s disastrous plans.
It’s time to take action on climate change by switching electricity providers. By switching to greener electricity providers, together we can force dirty coal and gas out of the grid and bring more renewable electricity in, sending a clear message to electricity companies that it’s time to get serious about tackling climate change.
Learn about climate solutions, and how to help. Explore climate solutions. The pathways to net-zero emissions are already here.

Nearly 4.5 million vehicles on our roads are owned by businesses. Electrifying corporate fleets is a crucial step to speed up our transition to clean electric vehicles. Check out what companies are stuck in the slow lane and send them a message to hurry them up!
Toyota is one of the biggest and most trusted car makers in Australia but they've been working around the world to slow the shift to electric vehicles. Will you send Toyota a loud and clear message: stop holding back climate action and get on board with the transition to electric vehicles.
It’s time for a safe climate, clean air and energy independence. It’s time to Electrify. Transport is one of the biggest sources of climate pollution in Australia - it alone counts for almost one-fifth of our total emissions! - and it's only growing. The need to electrify our transport system has never been more urgent.
