The fossil fuel industry has had a free ride for too long. It's time the Federal Government made fossil fuel corporations pull their weight and stop rewarding them for causing harm. If you agree, add your name to our petition! 👉 www.climatecouncil.org.au/actions/e…

Today’s High Court decision is groundbreaking for climate law in Australia. 🎉🤸🏽‍♀️ It means decision-makers must consider climate pollution from exporting coal when assessing coal mine applications in NSW, and how to reduce that pollution.

🎉📣Huge news from the High Court. Australia's first climate case at the High Court has gone the community's way: NSW coal mine approvals must consider the local climate damage caused by the polluting coal they export.

Renewed conflict in the Middle East illustrates how vulnerable we are to international price & supply shocks when we rely on imported fuel. There is an alternative: electrifying our households, businesses & transport & powering them with our sun & wind. Clean energy puts us back in control.

No matter how we choose to respond to sea level rise it is going to be complex and costly. The first, best step is to stop such damage in the first place by cutting pollution from coal, oil and gas. 📖 Read the full report: www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources…

More than 213mm of rain fell near Bangkok in just 24 hours, flooding streets across the city. Climate pollution is driving record-hot oceans, and hotter oceans fuel heavier, more intense rainfall. The more we keep polluting, the worse this gets.

It’s 2026, the climate crisis is all around us. How are we still approving polluting coal mines? What NSW exports as coal, we experience as worsening bushfires, floods, heatwaves and droughts. No matter where coal, oil and gas is dug up and burnt, we experience it as climate harm at home.

climatecouncil.org.au @climatecouncil.org.au · 30/09/2026

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 That means 800 million more tonnes of climate pollution - more than seven times what NSW emits in an entire year.

Approving the HVO coal mine expansion would unleash decades of pollution at a time when Australians are already paying the price for worsening climate impacts. We need to protect our communities from worsening climate disasters and costs, not add more fuel to the fire.

The Coalition’s newly announced energy plan is negligent & reckless. They want to remove the only thing putting downward pressure on energy prices: renewable power. The plan would increase Australia’s reliance on foreign oil, raise power & transport costs, & increase deadly climate pollution risks.

Hottest winter on record. Snow season closing weeks early. Records broken in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. And spring's shaping up even hotter. This is what climate pollution from coal, oil and gas looks like for our alpine regions, but it's not too late to change course.

Fracked gas from the Beetaloo Basin began flowing into the Northern Territory power grid yesterday. This is a climate bomb. Gas from the Beetaloo could unleash climate pollution more than three times Australia's annual domestic pollution over the next two decades. Our kids deserve better.
