How we drive an affordable, secure energy future
Time to leave fossil fuels behind
Fossil fuel industries like coal, oil and gas drive the climate crisis, destroying natural ecosystems and undermining human rights. The markets are also volatile, politicised and conflict-prone.
Ending our reliance on fossil fuels is essential to a safe, affordable energy future. We use the law to accelerate the clean energy transition, protect people and nature from harmful projects, and build a more sustainable system for all.
Ending fossil fuel subsidies
Fossil fuel subsidies waste taxpayer money at the cost of our health and the environment we depend on. We work to ensure public funds support affordable, clean energy solutions that help people and the planet.
Putting people before corporate profits
We challenge projects and policies that harm ecosystems and human rights, while advancing cleaner and fairer energy solutions. This includes opposing harmful developments such as polluting gas plants and data centres.
Reducing waste
We advocate for policies that improve energy efficiency, reduce unnecessary consumption, and support more environmentally sustainable ways of living, from better-insulated homes to accessible, low-carbon public transport.
Supporting responsible renewables
The sun and wind are free, while fossil fuels require continuous extractions and imports that are burned once and gone forever. Shifting from fossil fuels to clean energy is the cost-of-living solution that is central to energy security.
We hold governments, businesses and investors accountable, to accelerate the clean energy transition, while minimising negative impacts and ensuring real solutions.
Fostering energy communities
Breaking free from volatile fossil fuel markets is easier when we produce and manage our own energy. We advocate for laws that help communities generate, share and benefit from clean energy locally, from neighbourhood solar projects to residential energy initiatives.
