The network

Over the past year, leading campaigning organisations including GetUp!, Greenpeace, The Wilderness Society, World Wildlife Fund and the Australian Conservation Foundation have come together in a project to review and renew strategy for the climate movement. We started by accepting that, with Australia backsliding on climate action, our previous approaches have not been effective enough - and that we need to seriously step up our work for strong climate action. That means working better together, forging true partnerships with new allies, and building power we don’t yet have.

“We are stronger and smarter together than we are alone. That’s why we’re uniting our efforts to build the strategy and the capabilities to win on climate change”.
- Kelly O’Shanassy, CEO, Australian Conservation Foundation.
