Don’t let the oil and gas industry destroy our chance of a liveable and fair future
Cap emissions so it means an urgent and aggressive winding down of oil and gas production.
Why is this important?
Right now, we have a key opportunity to change the reckless actions of the oil and gas industry. The federal government is currently looking at a new policy — called an “emissions cap” — that could totally shift the game. [1]
If done right, it could actually force oil and gas companies to wind down oil and gas production urgently, in line with the science. But only if it's done right.
The oil and gas lobby is already trying to water down the cap on emissions, knowing the threat it represents to their profits. [2] We cannot stay silent. Together, we can show the government that the public demands bold and necessary action to address this climate crisis—and that the era of big oil and gas is over.
Sign our petition now.
