A week after @GlblCtzn NOW: Perth, WA has set a 75% renewables target for its main grid by 2030–31—a step towards affordable, reliable power & local jobs. Congratulations to @RogerCookMLA & also to Solutions for Climate WA’s alliance for their sustained work to bring this about.
Global Citizen NOW: Perth surpassed its clean energy goals: 4.8M households, 3 GW of renewables, 20M people impacted. Now comes the hard part: turning billions in commitments into action ahead of COP31.

The cleanest coal is the kind that stays in the ground. @TransEnergyGlobal is offsetting any emissions from #GlobalCitizenNOW: Perth with credits from a first-of-its-kind project in Botswana that keeps coal reserves right where they belong: underground ⛏️🙌

The Four Directions Energy Fund, the world’s first global Indigenous renewable energy pre-development fund, announced that it's putting $100 million behind 2GW+ of clean energy for Indigenous communities to co-own. Not a lease, but a lasting stake. ⚡

☀️Transforming debt into sunshine. @NinetyOne will grow its Emerging Markets Transition Debt strategy to $5 billion to power 3 GW of new renewables. What does that mean in emissions avoided? About 1 billion tons total.

Perth, you really know how to put on a show! 🙌
After two days of big ideas and meaningful conversations at Global Citizen NOW: Perth, we turned up the volume for one final night of music and celebration at Global Citizen Nights.
The Teskey Brothers, South Summit, and Ruby Rodgers brought the music – and the crowd brought the energy. What a way to close out our time in Western Australia!
We’re still reliving every moment. Here’s a glimpse 👀
