Australia is a global leader in the export of fossil fuels and coal, oil and gas still make up a large portion of our electricity generation. We need to shift domestic energy policies and energy creation towards cleaner solutions - while ensuring this process is equitable and empowering for all.  

Currently, our key funding priorities include: 

• Supporting the adoption of renewables
• Supporting the prevention of new fossil fuel projects
• Growing Australia’s green industry export market  

Temperate and tropical forests and seagrass meadows, tidal marshes and mangrove forests sequester large amounts of atmospheric carbon. They also provide vast biodiversity benefits for the planet, supporting most ecosystems that underpin life on earth. We’re funding initiatives to protect and restore these important areas, helping them recuperate, form and function to absorb and store more carbon over time. 

Currently, our key funding priorities are:

• Protecting and restoring land and forests 
• Protecting and restoring the ocean  
• Supporting the development of alternative proteins markets to reduce deforestation pressures, carbon emissions and animal suffering

Climate change will disproportionately affect more vulnerable groups in Australia, including low-income and First Nations communities, who may need financial support to transition to clean energy but also may have opportunities to benefit from the economic gains of this transition.  

Currently our key funding priorities include:  

• Supporting the empowerment and self determination of First Nations people 
• Supporting the education and empowerment of women and girls  
• Supporting low-income people impacted by climate change  
• Protecting animals from cruelty
