Global warming is driven by the rising concentration of greenhouse gases — primarily carbon dioxide and methane — trapping heat in our atmosphere and causing a relentless rise in Earth's temperature.

Average temperature rise over the past century
Greenhouse gases trap heat, preventing it from escaping into space. As concentrations rise, Earth’s temperature increases — disrupting ecosystems, intensifying extreme weather, and threatening health, agriculture, and economies across the globe.

A gradual but relentless rise affecting every continent.
Shared Responsibility
Every clean-energy decision helps reduce the pressure on our climate.
For a country defined by extraordinary biodiversity and climate extremes, the consequences are especially severe.
Longer, hotter summers placing dangerous pressure on public health and infrastructure.
More frequent and more ferocious fires tearing through millions of hectares.
Coastal communities and precious ecosystems under growing threat.
The Great Barrier Reef suffering unprecedented, ongoing damage.
Shrinking crop yields and deepening water scarcity across farming regions.
These are not warnings about the future. They are happening right now.
Switching to solar is one of the most powerful and immediate steps Australians can take in the fight against global warming.
Solar generates electricity with zero emissions during operation — no burning, no pollution, no compromise.
Solar lets Australia tap into its most abundant natural resource — the sun — with stronger security and stable long-term costs.
Unlike coal and gas plants, solar produces no air pollution at all — helping protect healthier communities.
Solar is central to meeting global climate goals. Choosing solar today is choosing the planet tomorrow.
