What Can I Do To Tackle Climate Change?

Climate Council

What can I do in my everyday life to tackle climate change and make a difference?

Download your Climate Action Toolkit

Here are five actions to get you started:

• Call your MP to share your support for strong policies that support renewable energy solutions and ask them their position on climate change.
• Install rooftop solar and join the 1.8 million Australian households who are already taking back control of their power bills.
• Change the way you travel and think about opportunities to catch public transport, cycle or walk instead.
• Move your money so it doesn’t support the fossil fuel industry.
• Time poor? Chip in and power our work as we equip and train individuals to take action and correct misinformation as you hear it.

The Climate Action Toolkit is packed full of information on how you can put these ideas, and more, into action.
The good news is, you’re not alone in taking this journey. You’re part of a community of passionate people championing renewable energy and action on climate change.

That’s why we’re asking you to take the #climateactionpledge

The way it works is simple:

1. Choose one action you’ll commit to doing in the next three months. It can be big or small – as long as it helps to power climate action in Australia. If you’re stuck, there are plenty of ideas and suggestions in the Toolkit.
2. Download a Climate Action pledge sign by clicking the links below. You can choose either a blank version or one of our pre-made options, below.
3. Print out the sign and write down your pledge (if need be). You could also load a pre-made sign onto your phone or tablet.
4. Take a photo of you and your pledge.
5. Upload the photo to social media, using the hashtag #climateactionpledge and tag @theclimatecouncil. Be sure to make the post public if you’d like to show your support online (alternatively, you can email it to us to upload).
6. Invite your friends and family to take the pledge as well!

In the coming days, we’ll start sharing all the best photos on our social media, so make sure you are following us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to see the pledges come rolling in.
