There’s no question about it.
Climate change is inflicting catastrophic damage on nature. And it’s wreaking havoc on our seasons, making our weather more extreme and more unpredictable.
Summer has always been a time for rest and rejuvenation, to be enjoyed outdoors and shared with family and friends. We spend the year counting down the days until our first swim in the ocean, the first BBQ with our neighbours, the first bite of a juicy mango.
But climate change means Summer is turning into a season not to look forward to, but to brace for.
And our precious wildlife certainly cannot afford more climate chaos.
As the planet cooks, climate action is one of the most powerful forms of nature protection. And right now, we must push decision-makers to speed up the move to renewables like solar and wind.
Clean renewable energy is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels like coal and gas if we want a safe climate and healthy natural world for Australia.
But we must act NOW.
That’s why a roadmap to a clean energy future has been developed by conservation scientists at the University of Melbourne, with support from ACF. And you could help make sure decision-makers follow it, by donating today.

Mapping Renewables for Nature: A roadmap for our energy future
The map shows exactly where wind and solar projects should be built – in a way that’s good for both people and nature.
And it couldn’t be more urgent. Our planet is heading for just under three degrees of warming by the end of this century – spelling disaster for nature and humanity.
We urgently need your help to use this mapping technology to get decision-makers to pave the road for renewables – not ruin it.
Your donation can:
- Help expert campaigners work with companies and governments to use evidence like this map, and support better, nature positive outcomes on the ground.
- Help rally our community of nature lovers to put public pressure on industry and governments, accelerating the transition to renewables.
- Help create other vital and innovative tools, to make the case for clean energy and counter the voices of climate wrecking fossil fuel giants.
Donate today to help make sure decision-makers follow the road to renewables – not ruin. You can help protect the wildlife, seasons and people we love.
