CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Australians voted for action on climate change and the Albanese Labor Government is delivering. We're also protecting more of our natural world - doing more than ever to protect our environment.
In our first term, the Albanese Labor Government:
- Approved a record number of renewable energy projects
- Invested $8.3 million on the Bunurong Wetlands as part of the Albanese Labor Government’s $200 million investment to clean up urban rivers and waterways
- Protected threatened species and conserved habitat
- Invested $1.2 billion to save the Great Barrier Reef
- Rescued the Murray-Darling by delivering over 100 times more additional environmental water
A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will:
- Deliver more cheap, clean reliable renewable energy to get our energy grid to 82% renewables by 2030.
- Unlock $8 billion of additional investment in renewable energy and low emissions technologies through a $2 billion expansion of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
