Australians are proud of our natural resources – and our renewable power achievements are no exception. Renewables like rooftop solar, gridscale wind and solar, and advanced storage now provide around 40% of the electricity in our main grid. The catch? Fewer than 1 in 10 Australians know it. That’s no surprise – our energy system is transforming at lightning speed. Renewable electricity generation has quadrupled in the past decade and is set to double in the next.

Description At the moment, Australia's car-centric transport system leaves too many people with little choice in how to get around. For decades, governments have prioritised the use of private cars in transport planning and investment. Too often, this means people have no other way to get around. This is driving harmful climate pollution while also making the streets more congested, dangerous and polluted. Australians are clear that they want better transport options and more choice.

We all want to live in cities with clean air and great public spaces, where we can move around in ways that suit our needs, and feel safe on our streets. Getting from A to B with ease means having a choice of convenient, frequent, reliable and affordable transport options that seamlessly connect us to work, school, friends, family and services.

Climate change impacts every part of our lives – from our health, wellbeing and the safety of our communities, to the stability and security of the financial and economic systems on which we depend. Unless we take strong action this decade to address its drivers by rapidly cutting emissions, Australians face escalating and compounding risks now and for decades to come.

Climate change impacts every part of our lives – from our health, wellbeing and the safety of our communities, to the stability and security of the financial and economic systems on which we depend. Unless we take strong action this decade to address its drivers by rapidly cutting emissions, Australians face escalating and compounding risks now and for decades to come. Australia’s Council of Financial Regulators has officially recognised climate change posing a financial risk since 2017.
