Vote Climate in the 2025 federal election.
Check out our voting guides for the Senate.
We are in the climate endgame. We will be passing dangerous tipping points within the term of the next government.
“We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator.” - UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres
Climate breakdown has begun. Last year was the first year with an average of 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming. We are passing tipping points for runaway warming. It is, therefore, more vital than ever that we declare a climate emergency and take the strongest possible action.
We now need to do more than just reduce emissions. Climate scientists and campaigners are calling for ‘three Rs’. These are: Reduce emissions rapidly, Redraw (draw down) excess carbon dioxide, and Repair damaged ecosystems (for example, using cooling measures like marine cloud brightening to protect the Arctic ice). More recently, a fourth R, increasing Resilience, has been added to reflect the need to protect people from the impacts that are now unavoidable.
