Australia’s economic rules should put people and nature first, because how can we have a successful economy if we don’t have a planet to live on?
To build an economy that’s good for life, we need game-changing solutions that redesign the current rules, structures institutions and goals.
We know this is possible, and we know you agree. You've shown that by taking action – thank you. Together, let's get the big banks to move the money!
Replacing coal and gas with clean energy won’t happen unless we demand it. And it's already working. Banks, superannuation funds and even BlackRock – the world’s largest fund manager – are starting to move their money out of coal. Over 60 contractors have ruled out working on Adani’s coal mine.
Burning coal and gas is the biggest cause of climate damage. More than ever we need big investment in making Australia a thriving hub for renewables – powering us and the world with clean energy.
Here's how we're going to do:
- Expose how our current economic system is failing us and champion powerful ideas for change
- Grow a widespread movement of passionate people to push corporations to do the right thing – naming and shaming poor performers and celebrating those doing good
- Demand our government end public funding for polluting coal, gas and oil industries
- Push businesses and government to measure economic success using indicators like clean air, healthy ecosystems and wellbeing through transparent reporting frameworks
