It’s Time for Action Now!
The climate crisis is hitting Western Australia harder every year. Add your name to stop more fossil fuels.
Every day of delay means more heat, fires and floods. Tell the Premier: Western Australia needs action.
Western Australia is on the frontline of the climate crisis
Record heatwaves, longer bushfire seasons and declining rainfall are already hitting communities and ecosystems hard.
Most fire-prone region
WA is one of the most fire-prone regions on Earth, and in recent years blazes have intensified — with record fires in 2025 across Narrikup, Perth, Albany, Ledge Point, Arthur River, Windy Harbour and Yellanup; in 2024 around Waroona, Chittering and the Shire of Dandaragan; and in 2023 affecting Mandurah, Ravensthorpe, Toodyay, Wanneroo and Jacob’s Ladder at Kings Park.
Driest on Record
In April 2024, southwest WA endured its driest six-month spell on record, triggering fears of large-scale forest collapse — an ecological disaster likened to “coral bleaching on land.” Stretching nearly 1,000 km from the Zuytdorp Cliffs near Shark Bay to Albany, the event devastated forests and shrublands, causing irreversible biodiversity loss and destruction of breeding habitats — echoing the world’s first recorded forest collapse in WA in 2010–11.
Record Floods Devastate WA’s North
In January 2023, WA was hit by its worst flood event on record as torrential rain inundated the Fitzroy River catchment, submerging Fitzroy Crossing, pastoral stations and Aboriginal communities — damaging over 240 homes and businesses, forcing more than 1,500 people to evacuate, and cutting off vital trade routes across the region.
WA’s Worst Marine Heatwave on Record
The 2024/25 marine heatwave was the longest, largest and most intense ever recorded, triggering the most widespread coral bleaching event in Western Australia’s history and devastating marine ecosystems across the coast.
Why we must act now
More gas isn’t the answer. Gas is dirty, expensive and risks locking us into decades of climate chaos. Meanwhile, the world is racing towards clean energy — and WA risks being left behind. But there’s another path. The evidence is in.
Our new report shows WESTERN AUSTRALIA can:
1.
Cut pollution fast with a net-zero law and clear targets in line with 1.5°C.
2.
Create good, secure jobs by investing in clean industries like green iron, green ammonia and green mineral processing.
3.
Build reliable energy with renewables and storage — not more gas.
4.
Put fairness first and protect nature by working with Traditional Owners and communities at every step.
Your voice is POWERFUL
Premier Roger Cook must show leadership and set WA on a new direction — one that tackles the biggest polluters, builds clean energy industries, and safeguards communities from the climate crisis. He won’t act unless thousands of us demand it.
This is WA’s chance to choose a future that’s clean, fair and prosperous.
