350.org Australia

"Do The Maths" Australia!

350.org and Bill McKibben are bringing the staggering math of climate change to Australia. Visit maths.350.org/australia for more details

350.org Australia’s mission is to build a movement to call for action on the global climate change

crisis. In Australia, the world’s largest exporter of polluting coal, we are working to raise awareness

about the environmental impacts of that industry, to halt coal export expansion and to protect the

environment and communities threatened by coal development.

Right now a large number of megamines are planned for Australia, including some of the most prominent

in Queensland that would see massive coal export infrastructure development near our greatest

environmental icon -- the Great Barrier Reef. We are calling on Environment Minister Tony Burke to

halt coal export expansion and protect the Australian – and global – environment in favour of clean

energy alternatives.

350 parts per million is the safe level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere to sustain life. We are

now above 390 ppm and that rate is climbing rapidly. 350.org was founded to raise awareness about

these numbers and to highlight that our climate is in crisis right now and that urgent action is needed

to reduce our global emissions in every country in the world.

Because of its dependence on coal for energy and its economic dependence on coal exports, Australia

is a leading contributor to the deadly climate change impacts we face right now. 350.org Australia

is working with 350.org internationally and with a large group of partner organisations to end our

dependence on coal and move the country to clean energy alternatives.

350.org is supported by concerned members of the public just like you. Take action to help us find

solutions to the climate crisis by signing up for 350.org Australia updates on our efforts.

Sign our petition calling on Environment Minister Tony Burke to halt coal export expansion and

protect the Australian – and global – environment in favour of clean energy alternatives.

350.org Australia was founded in 2009 as part of the 350 global day of climate action. We are a

small team supported by an active group of volunteers and organisers who work together to raise

awareness about the climate crisis here and internationally. /div>
