The Runway for Government Action

How the Climate Council’s policy and advocacy work helps end climate pollution and keep our kids safe

The decisions that governments make shape our kids’ futures, yet they’re often swayed by what goes on behind closed doors.

So how does the Climate Council, with its modest budgets, win in the war of influence against the big polluters?

Join us for this behind-the-scenes webinar exploring how the Climate Council’s influential policy and advocacy unit helps drive government action with a big impact. 

Using the recent New Vehicle Efficiency Standards legislation as an example, our expert team will talk you through how our policy and advocacy team, amplified by our persuasive and far-reaching communications, took this policy from the too hard basket, to legislation that will halve the climate pollution produced by new cars, vans and utes by 2030.

We’ll also look ahead to the big policy fights coming up, including the work we’re doing to fix Australia’s broken environment law, and show you how you can get involved to become a catalyst for policy change that delivers real climate solutions.

Don’t miss this exclusive webinar, featuring Climate Councillor Professor Lesley Hughes, the Climate Council’s Head of Policy and Advocacy, Dr Jennifer Rayner, Clean Transport Campaigner Rebekah Smith and hosted by Climate Council CEO Amanda Mckenzie.
