Coal and gas mines, logging native forests and land clearing are threatening our water, our climate, our environment, our native animals and our future. Governments, corporations, and billionaires who enable and profit off the climate crisis are letting us down.

Liberal and Labor continue to take millions in donations from coal and gas billionaires, while approving new coal and gas projects and fast tracking land clearing that could push koalas to extinction.

The only way we can address the climate crisis is by ending coal and gas and moving to a renewable, fossil fuel free future.

Only the Greens have a plan to fight the climate crisis, make polluters pay, and grow jobs to repower our economy renewably.

Will you sign now to move beyond coal and gas to a renewable future, end native forest logging and stop the extinction crisis?

Greens Member for Newtown, Jenny Leong MP has praised the Greens amendment to ensure that Aboriginal communities are consulted and included in the development of renewable energy infrastructure in NSW.

The Electricity Infrastructure Investment Bill 2020 is a much needed bill and a huge step towards ensuring NSW can transition to renewable energy in the time needed to help address the climate crisis. However, Jenny Leong MP reinforced the Greens commitment to public ownership of assets and ensuring an equitable transition and noted that The Greens would support the Bill but seek to amend it.

Renters rejoice! It is now possible for you to have access to solar power despite not having access to a sunny roof!

Whether you rent, live in a unit or have a shaded roof you can now share in the benefits of solar too, by applying to be a member of Australia's first large scale solar garden.

The name ''Haystacks Solar Garden' comes from their similarity to a community garden, except instead of growing veggie plots they are growing solar plots.

Greens Member for Newtown, Jenny Leong MP has called on the Government to protect core koala hubs identified within the boundaries of the proposed Great Koala National Park.

Greens Member for Newtown, Jenny Leong MP has spoken in favour of new reforms to make it easier to install sustainability infrastructure in Strata complexes in NSW.

It has been devastating to see the NSW Government give the green light to log precious remaining patches of unburnt forest.

Community consultation has never been the Coalition’s forte. We can’t let them now use COVID-19 as an excuse to ignore the community and ram through controversial mining projects.

At a time of unprecedented drought and fire events throughout New South Wales, when our farmers, scientists and firies are calling for urgent action on climate change, the NSW Liberal National government is trying to introduce legislation to water down the environmental requirements for approving new coal and gas mines. 

Burning coal is the biggest contributor to human-made climate change. It makes fires, heatwaves and drought worse. But the Minerals Council wants to weaken laws that require the climate change impacts of new coal and gas mines in NSW to be assessed as part of the planning approval process.

Coal mined here in NSW has led to around 500 million tonnes of carbon emissions - greater than total emissions from the UK or France.

Sign this petition to keep our environmental laws strong to stop our coal making global climate change worse.  

Weakening the laws that require the full climate change impacts to be considered in the assessment of new coal mines is a dangerous backward step that will make climate change worse.

If NSW is genuine about its own goal of net zero emissions by 2050, this legislation should be abandoned.

Help us protect the laws that protect our environment.
