B.I.G. Future
Many Australians feel deeply concerned yet powerless when it comes to climate change. The Better Futures Australia program establishes sector working groups, fostering collaboration among those with shared concerns, enabling them to enhance their sector's climate ambition and amplify their own voices to be heard by decision-makers. These groups serve as a platform for collective advocacy, strengthening the national response to climate change.
