We are excited to bring you our 2021 Climate Solutions Fund!

There is a lot to love about Australia...
…the incredible people, our unique landscapes, true mateship and a diversity of cultures unrivalled anywhere else. We have faced the challenges of bushfires and pandemics since 2020 with a resilience that proved we work best when working together to adapt and thrive in an increasingly changing world.

Yet, on climate change we face a disconnect – costing us our land, our wildlife and possibly our future. Australia deserves a strong foundation to connect the voice of its citizens to its leaders for the future of our climate, and that’s where we come in.

We as a country need to reach our turning point, and you can help us get there!

THE PROBLEM ✗
In 2020, pivotal action on climate change became a global priority – but Australia still lags behind.

Unfortunately, we are held back by contentious climate politics, and to make the successful transition to net-zero carbon, we need your voice and support. 

The consensus on climate is clear: our country faces widespread issues without deep and immediate systemic change.

Fortunately, you can help create the political will to drive this change.

THE SOLUTION ✓ 
Empowering citizens across our nation affects the most change – that is why we are asking for your financial support to establish a climate-advocacy group in all Federal electorates.

Educating and inspiring supporters to speak on behalf of the community sends a clear message to political and business leaders about our determination to tackle the climate crisis now through effective non-partisan solutions.

The number one solution we seek is the implementation of the Australian Climate Dividend: a simple, transparent and effective carbon price that gives back to Australian citizens, while enabling a smooth transition to a decarbonised economy.

THE GOAL 🡒
By 2023, CCL Australia aims to have an active and diverse group of citizen representatives in each Federal electorate.

We are proud that our team of advocates has grown in every sense – across locations, in numbers, in our abilities and in our determination to keep progressing Australia’s climate solutions.

But we can’t do this alone anymore!

It is time to take things to the next level, and ensure our current and future members are well-resourced and ready to tackle the immediate climate challenges we face as a nation.

So, we are very excited to launch the 2021 Climate Solutions Fund! Your tax-deductible gift will enable us to appoint the staff we need to build and support active, diverse climate advocacy groups in every electorate across Australia.

Generous donations of $40 or more will allow CCL Australia to employ professional staff to coordinate and strengthen our community and individual voices. Regular monthly donations will be even more effective by giving us greater confidence to plan ahead.

We thank you sincerely for your ongoing support and willingness to help.

ABOUT US
Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) Australia works to create the political will for a liveable world.

We are a volunteer-led not-for-profit organisation dedicated to reducing the social, economic and environmental consequences of climate change. We work across political and social divides to advance large-scale solutions in Australian parliaments.

CCL volunteers build long-term relationships with government, business and community leaders; through this we advocate for a carbon-dividend system that supports Australian households.

Our solution is fair, efficient and substantially reduces carbon emissions whilst encouraging clean investments to boost the economy through green jobs. Australian citizens would receive a monthly ‘climate dividend’ payment, leaving them better off while providing the security our economy needs to decarbonise.
