Impact Report August, 2016 | Page 3

ClimateWorks Australia has made significant progress in the seven years since launching our mission to catalyse substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across Australia’s economy. We remain focused on building the case for climate action through evidence-based research to deliver a suite of reports analysing opportunities for significant greenhouse gas emissions reduction at the state and sectoral level. We have achieved targeted engagement with federal, state and local governments, business, industry and investors around Australia and more recently, internationally, to remove roadblocks and drive implementation. Our end-to-end offering is unique in our sector, strongly supporting the relationships we build and the progress to which we contribute. Critically, the ClimateWorks team is keenly aware these accomplishments are dependent on more than our efforts alone. None of this would be possible without the generosity and commitment of those who fund our work. Philanthropic funding is not only integral to our business model, it has been instrumental in building ClimateWorks’ unrivalled independent reputation. Our role as trusted advisors who deliver high quality and practical opportunities for emissions reductions has allowed us to collaborate with key sectors of business, all tiers of government, all major political parties, advocacy organisations and interest groups. In turn, our partners are critical to the effective implementation of our findings. We therefore share these wins with all who contribute to this ripple effect. A note about scope: The life cycle of our project work averages three years from the release of a report to key outcomes which in turn, lead to further outcomes, building on the success and learnings of previously released work. This report highlights just some of the exciting and groundbreaking impacts we saw during the window of 2015 and the first half of 2016. Many activities and programmes reported here are continuing to deliver outcomes beyond this timeframe. 3
