Higgins Climate Action Network

Higgins CAN is an alliance of volunteer groups pushing for #ClimateAction in Higgins electorate.

Right now, we're working in Malvern & Ashwood for #VicVotes

[Higgins Climate Action Network @HigginsClimate]

Higgins CAN joined @ActOnClimateVic @LiteFootPrints and other Melbourne climate orgs to deliver this strong message to Australia's #DirtyDozenPolluters.

We're fired up for #SafeguardOurClimate in 2023 🔥🔥

[Act on Climate Vic @ActOnClimateVic]

⏰ Time’s up! ⏰ for the #DirtyDozenPolluters to respond to the community’s letter calling on them to support a strengthened Climate Safeguard Mechanism from the @AlboMP govt.

The companies have until the end of the day to get back to the community…

#SafeguardOurClimate

[CANA @CAN_Australia]

A month ago, community members delivered a sign-on letter to BHP and #DirtyDozenPolluters. Will they respond to the demand to pull their weight on climate? #SafeguardOurClimate #Auspol

Australians do not want to lose these magnificent giant trees across our continent. We're so lucky to have beautiful old-growth forest here in Victoria.

We must end native logging @tanya_plibersek @LilyDAmbrosioMP

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Today on Black Friday is the perfect day to sue the state over its insufficient climate policies.

So that’s what we did.

See you in court!

Now THAT's a tree. 500 years old, 80 metres tall. [You need to click on the pic to get a full appreciation of its majestic size.]

And yet, it's in an area of Tasmania slated for logging. We need to be so much better than this.

Victoria needs a serious plan to seize the opportunities of switching to clean, renewable power, not a gas pipe-dream.

URGENT: We're concerned the Andrews govt is under pressure from VicForests to gut Victoria’s enviro laws and allow illegal logging to continue.

Call @DanielAndrewsMP on 03 9651 5000 and call on him to commit to protecting out forests. More: https://t.co/maKKCxWRem

WOW! A massive solar win in NSW 🌞🔋

Can we get this happening in Victoria @LilyDAmbrosioMP ?

Or, better yet, nationally @Bowenchris @michrajah ?

[Parents for Climate @climate_parents]

BIG WIN! ⚡🎉

We welcome the NSW Government announcement to open ALL state school rooftops to solar energy savings and for stepping up to enable state schools to be part of a clean energy future! @Matt_KeanMP @smitchellmlc 👏

[Environment Victoria @EnviroVic]

Gas is responsible for 16% of Victoria’s carbon pollution. The more we burn, the more we damage our climate.

But Matthew Guy has said he wants to “turbocharge gas production”!

Australia has signed up to the High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution - a global call to end plastic pollution around the world by 2040.

Teals demand government scrap carve-out for native forest logging
“Having the government negotiating with the forestry industry on logging is akin to it negotiating with the tobacco industry on health.”

Our votes are precious. We need to vote for climate candidates, not those whose parties are funded by fossil fuels.

[Australian Conservation Foundation @AusConservation]

Despite Labor’s improved emissions target, Australia has only gone up four places in the annual climate change performance index.

Why?

Largely because of our government’s plans to increase coal & gas production by more than 5% by 2030.

Australia must do better.
