On Thursday November 5, WA Parliament will be debating whether to implement a Climate Change Act, so please come and show your support for this legislation.
The more people down at Parliament house, the stronger the message we send.
We demand action on climate!
If passed, the Climate Change Act will:
- Immediately cap WA's emissions at current levels;
- Create a net-zero emissions by 30 June 2040 target (interim target of 50% of 2005 levels by 30 June 2030);
- create a 100% renewable energy by 30 June 2030 target (interim target of 50% by 30 June 2025);
- Establish an independent state Climate Council to help drive WA's response to climate change;

We saw during COVID-19 that we can solve massive challenges and save lives when we listen to scientists and act together.
Right now, we have the opportunity to not only tackle the COVID-19 economic crisis, but also the climate crisis. We can reduce our emissions while at the same time creating thousands of green jobs and rebooting our local manufacturing.
Now is the time for our State Government to be bold. Now is the time to set a net-zero emissions target, drive renewable energy investment and establish an independent Climate Council to oversee the transition to a renewable economy. Now is the time for a WA Climate Change Act.
This Act will create thousands of green jobs, support our communities, and protect our environment - but it’s up to us as a community to make it happen
