Our solution to climate change: Democracy.
Good policy is the best way to solve climate change, and putting a price on carbon is repeatedly proven to be the most efficient route.

Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action does important work. Proud that we had a role initiating this parliamentary group some years ago.
At our Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action Roundtable on Summer Preparedness, Bushfires & National Security, former Defence Chief Admiral Chris Barrie spelled out the scale of national security threat posed by global warming.
We must accelerate our climate response.

Great op ed @JohnRHewson 👏 A price on pollution PLUS returning the dividends to households is working (incl. politically) in Canada. It could work here too.

Bravo Tom Hunt 👏 A tireless @CCL_Aus campaigner on #climatedividend . Now also sailing his message in #Canberra & hoping '...a national apology will motivate politicians to take action.' canberraweekly.com.au/canber…
Thanks @SophieScamps for meeting with Mackellar members this week to discuss #climatedividend - an essential policy solution for AU to meet its emissions reduction targets.
What can other countries learn from Canada’s carbon pricing policy? Former Minister for Climate @cathmckenna says: “Make it no longer free to pollute and give all the money back.” RU👂@bowenchris? podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…
Did you notice yesterday's doodle on Google? It celebrated the 204th birthday of American scientist Eunice Newton Foote - the first person to discover the greenhouse effect and its role in the warming of Earth’s climate. See google.com/doodles/eunice-ne…
The fossil fuel industry desperately needs a predictably-rising carbon price to smooth their inevitable phase-down. It's just that most of them don't know it yet.

'...taxpayers are subsidising both carbon pollution (fossil fuel subsidies) & decarbonisation (clean energy incentives) at the same time'.
⏰Time to end this perversity and implement #ClimateDividends says @Rodmitch5 in our latest blog. ccl.org.au/wisps-of-clarity/…

While the #FederalBudget contains welcome temporary power bill relief and measures for some households and businesses to tap into renewables, it doesn’t meet the scale of the climate emergency Australia faces. #Auspol
Last week CCL WA members met with MP for Hasluck, Tania Lawrence for an exchange of ideas on the Safeguard Mechanism, electrification, community batteries & climate dividends.
Keen to meet MPs & Senators? Read our Lobby Playbooks for great info ccl.org.au/lobbying-playbook

CCL members also meet with Senators too! It was a pleasure to meet WA @SenatorPayman last week to introduce the concept of Climate Dividends to her. She must have liked what she heard because we've been invited back!

Thanks @samlimmp for meeting with CCL Tangney members recently. A fruitful discussion on the Safeguard Mechanism, EVs & our key policy ask: Climate Dividend (carbon pricing with a dividend returned to households) #ClimateAction #climatedividend

Lucky Canadians! Let's move towards this in Australia @Bowenchris.

Great to see Australia finally has a national electric vehicle strategy, after years of lagging behind. Plenty still to be done and more details needed, but this is a positive step for reducing our transport emissions.

The Safeguard Mechanism (aka carbon pricing) sends '...clear commercial signal for Woodside to invest in decarbonisation.'

Call it by another name, but we now have an official price on carbon 👏 The Safeguard Mechanism is a relatively weak form of CO2 pricing but improvements make it more effective for emissions ⬇️. Read our blog from @Rodmitch5 ccl.org.au/wisps-of-clarity/… @bowenchris @jennymcallister
Thanks @ChaneyforCurtin for speaking to the Year 10 economics logic of #carbonpricing as the most efficient & effective market mechanism way to meet (and beat) our emissions reductions targets.

From the basics to the complex, our Playbooks detail the reasons why carbon pricing and climate dividend policies are urgently needed and how they could work. ccl.org.au/policy-playbook
