If you're finding the term "climate change" is not having the same impact as it has in the past, have a read over this Climate Phrasebook to see how we can re-engage our communities on this important issue.

Researched and collated by the Climate Institute, GetUp, and Environment Victoria - let's get our message heard!

It takes 49 tradies and apprentices to build 1000 solar panels — and we need millions!

Wind turbines have over 10,000 parts. Who’s going to make and install them?

The good news? It’s not “jobs or the environment.” Cutting pollution creates jobs.

This month's Union Climate Connectors Action Kit is about jobs. It coincides with a recently released report from the Australian Conservation Foundation and the ACTU called Creating Jobs - Cutting Pollution: the roadmap for a cleaner, stronger economy.

Pull any string in the climate crisis knot and you’ll find it hitched up to all the others.
Food is no exception.

Modern agriculture is a major carbon polluter because it uses tonnes of fuel and fertilisers. Methane, mainly from belching cows, and nitrous oxide from nitrate fertilisers, are also potent greenhouse gases. Food production causes deforestation, as more and more land grows pasture and feed crops for livestock, and palm oil for processed foods. Deforestation makes Indonesia and Brazil the planet’s third and fourth worst polluters.

But the good news is that the solutions can be delicious, nutritious and ingenious.

Australian climate scientists give us their report on the State of the Climate.

Australian scientific research groups, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have released this report demonstrating that the climate in Australia is indeed changing.

In our final Action Kit for 2009, we've taken a Christmasy look at waste, with two enjoyable actions, and one that's a little dull, but has a big impact. Download the kit and all will be revealed.
