No New Fossil Fuels
We are in a climate emergency. Fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas are heating up the planet, causing sea levels to rise and making bushfires, floods and cyclones more frequent and extreme. The science is clear: we must get off fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy.
The problem
We’ve known for decades that burning fossil fuels causes climate change. The solution – clean renewable energy – exists and is ready to go. But powerful fossil fuel companies and their allies in government have prioritised industry profits over our safety and done everything they can to kick the can down the road. 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.
