PROGRAM:
MAINSTREAMING
One lesson from the tumultuous politics of climate
action in recent years is that informed public support
is vital to ongoing progress.
Within communities, organisations and businesses,
the sharing of credible, evidence-based solutions
is best facilitated by known and trusted sources.
ClimateWorks is partnering with thought leaders
from a range of sectors to build awareness and
drive national discussion about the achievability and
benefits of Australia’s net zero emissions future,
as outlined in ClimateWorks’ Pathways to Deep
Decarbonisation in 2050 report.
PROGRAM IMPACTS
Launched in October 2015, the project draws on cross
disciplinary and social research to help build capacity
in our partners. Results from this work were highly
informative and findings are now being embedded in
the public facing phase of the project.
“To date, we’ve been approached by more than
twenty organisations keen to partner with us on
our mainstreaming work, creating a community of
practice focused on building broad understanding
and support for a net zero emissions future.
They welcome our positive, solutions-focused
story for Australia on climate change, calling it a
‘refreshing’ and ‘unifying’ vision.”
