Race to the top: Australia’s clean energy momentum
In fewer than six years, Australia has doubled the share of renewable electricity in our main grid and, today, more than 3.6 million Australian households have installed rooftop solar to reduce their power bills and slash climate pollution.
Nowhere is our rapid shift towards an economy powered by renewable energy more visible than at the state and territory level, where governments, communities and households are leading the charge. Most importantly, the collective result of these efforts is that we are well on the way to meeting Australia’s national climate pollution reduction target of 43% by 2030.
Now, we need to go even further and move even faster. We can seize the decade by accelerating towards a clean economy that creates better health outcomes and good, long-term job opportunities in renewable energy and clean industries for every Australian child alive today, as well as every generation to come.
Our kids’ futures depend on the choices we make now, and there is no time to waste.
