Our campaign will dismantle policies which favour coal mine approvals at the expense of climate considerations and prevent major coal expansions from being approved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/b39dfa70-ca41-4ec9-8a7c-f1eb3ae406e3/5.png Impact - Community Power Agency, May 2024 Decarbonising the energy system is crucial to meeting net-zero by 2050, yet growing backlash to renewables is a key threat to achieving this. We work to ensure that communities can participate in and benefit from renewables, thereby building critical social support and trust in the energy shift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/5020f81f-015a-41c6-ad77-d7375fccc4ef/Copy+of+Grant+winners+May+2023+%28Instagram+Post+%28Square%29%29.png Impact - Jubilee Australia, May 2024 We urgently need clean energy. Yet renewable energy often relies on nickel, lithium or other minerals. Our government is right now deciding the future of mining and renewables. Done badly, these policies will embolden mining companies, damage the environment and threaten Indigenous rights. This could divide the climate movement and feed the fossil fuel lobby’s efforts to reduce support for renewables. We want to bring groups together across movements to navigate these difficult waters and help defend our renewable energy future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/d996bee0-425f-4b18-aa46-ab5b978500ca/1.png Impact - Seed Mob, August 2023 Seed are the country’s first and only youth-led First Nations organisation, living the principle of self-determination by providing the space for our mob to make decisions and lead work to protect country.

Young people have a critical leadership role to play in this movement; our generation will inherit the consequences of decisions made today. With Groundswell’s support, AYCC will scale up youth-led campaigns to stop climate-wrecking gas expansion, by eroding the social licence and Federal political support of the gas industry. We will also fund training summits, workshops and mentoring programs that empower young people as lifelong leaders for climate action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/69d6dae9-e8b9-427c-b504-cbffe25a77b5/North+Queensland+Conservation+Council Impact - North Queensland Conservation Council, August 2023 NQCC is dedicated to climate action and conservation in North Queensland. We advocate for ambitious climate action that delivers outcomes for nature, communities and First Nations people. This funding will bolster our grassroots organising, ensuring a strong and impactful local movement in this critical time in Queensland’s energy transition. Over the next 12 months, we will strategically work to grow a powerful and diverse movement in Gurambilbarra (Townsville) and shift the narrative about local climate action, in preparation for local government elections in March 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/136e4ddf-e4bc-4ab6-8791-e57641c2700d/Rewiring+Australia Impact - Rewiring Australia, August 2023 If we electrify everything, we don’t just help address the climate crisis, we create a world that is cheaper, cleaner and fairer. Rewiring Australia is on a mission to Electrify Everything. That is, to replace all fossil fuel-based machines with efficient, electric ones powered by renewable energy. We are working to empower communities, transform our energy landscape and accelerate the electric future. At the heart of our strategy to deliver our mission is our research and analysis which we use to drive government policy and investment while inspiring action and supporting Australians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/a3eca1dc-8cc7-4a71-a20b-78969385b717/Climate+Integrity Impact - Climate Integrity, August 2023 This is the era of delaying climate action – when fossil fuel companies like Shell have a social license to publish a Net Zero pledge while expanding coal oil and gas, we have a big problem. Climate Integrity is a new project that will tackle false solutions and greenwashing in business Net Zero pledges in Australia. Groundswell funding would provide critical start-up capacity to set benchmarks for science-aligned net zero pledges, launch a national campaign to close the window for greenwashing and build public and political momentum for regulation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/e6a463d0-0f65-4839-9cd0-637ec2a7c4d8/Grata+Fund Impact - Grata Fund, August 2023 Grata catalyses high impact, strategic climate litigation brought by people and communities. We make high impact, potentially game-changing cases happen, like Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul’s Australian Climate Case. We are supporting Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul, two Traditional Owners and Native Title rights holders from the islands of Boigu and Saibai in Zenadth Kes (the Torres Strait) to sue the Australian Government for negligence. If successful, this may force the government to reduce emissions in line with the best available science. Funding would help us to cover the cost of the next stage of this critical case, including expert testimony hearings in November and boost our capacity to take on at least one new climate justice case. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/f3d9b034-97a3-40c0-9e4c-1ebf40d6c5ae/comms+declare Impact - Comms Declare, August 2023 The Fossil Ad Ban campaign is the most successful of its type in the world. Since launching in 2022, 12 Australian councils, including the City of Sydney, have voted to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships. Your funding will help us scale up - moving from councils to lobbying federal politicians - to stop and/or restrict fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships across the country. National laws that prevent future fossil fuel marketing are the only guaranteed, comprehensive and long-term method of reducing the industry’s social licence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/4faf4ad2-3cdd-44d7-8952-9f503128bce0/11.png Impact - Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action, August 2023 The 2023 El Nino brings threats of increasingly catastrophic fires but also the opportunity for bushfire survivors to powerfully communicate the need for urgent emissions reductions to create impactful and lasting change. Our personal experiences of climate impacts equip us to speak to politicians, governments, regulatory bodies and the courts, with a unique and compelling moral authority to progress change. It is through the telling of these raw stories of personal loss and trauma that we engage, motivate and compel action to call for a safer climate future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/b940b1b5-ec18-4fdb-a373-a4b28212ce9e/17.png Impact - Arid Lands Environment Centre, August 2023 The burden of climate change is borne unevenly by First Nations people, whose country and wellbeing, sacred sites and cultural practices are exponentially impacted. With an NT election in 2024 and an horrifically hot summer almost certainly ahead of us, ALEC we will use social organising principles to translate deep public concerns and the reality of climate change into ballot box pressure for decisions in the public interest, including future generations and non-humans. Specifically we will continue to engage with and amplify the voices of the region’s traditional owners; and support and resource community individuals and groups who are alive to the threats to Australia’s arid lands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/ca10ad3c-8800-4bf7-9afb-10720e7865b2/19.png Impact - Tomorrow Movement, August 2023 Tomorrow Movement organises young people to build public and political support to win transformative policies to improve the lives of thousands of people while solving the climate crisis. By taking escalating actions we can make ambitious solutions winnable and prompt historic government investment in climate justice solutions. With the cost of living crisis dominating headlines and impacting people’s lives, now is the moment to campaign for climate solutions that explicitly tie climate action to improving everyone’s quality of life. This groundwork will make transformative climate justice solutions a defining issue leading up to, and beyond the next Federal election. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/614e2f6a-3196-4e5d-923c-d5912ae2af2b/7.png Impact - Farmers for Climate Action, May 2023 Farmers for Climate Action is one of the most influential climate groups in Australia and an organisation ideally positioned to seriously shift the dial on climate policy as our window to avoid the worst impacts of climate change rapidly closes. Farmers are some of the most trusted spokespeople on climate and there are now almost 8000 farmers in their Farmers for Climate Action network across Australia. FCA’s advice is being sought across the political spectrum by those with significant decision making powers, including by Federal Government Ministers, and their network of farmers continue to influence MPs, inside and outside of government, to ensure economy-wide emissions reductions are achieved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/f9831923-5114-4131-8d7b-018e7aa14ec7/5.png Impact - Climate Media Centre, May 2023 The Climate Media Centre (an independent Climate Council program) is Australia’s go-to bureau for climate stories - connecting journalists with more than 5,000 trained spokespeople from a diverse range of backgrounds including firefighters, farmers, athletes, doctors, climate litigants, Traditional Owners, renters, extreme weather survivors and young people. With Groundswell’s support, a Senior Media Advisor will deliver three hours of support to these spokespeople and a range of grassroots campaigns everyday for a full year, empowering them to reach their peers through the media tens of thousands of times, and fundamentally transforming the faces and voices of climate change Australia to ensure this issue is relevant for all audiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/a341ef03-91ba-4d5a-9572-7ca803c962dc/9.png Impact - Australiasian Centre Corporate Responsibility, May 2023 Scientific pathways to 1.5C require material changes to major emitters’ corporate strategies by 2030. ACCR seeks to bring about this change through forceful engagement with their portfolio companies. They target Australia’s largest emitters as well as global stocks whose footprint cannot be ignored. Avoidable delays to direct escalation with these companies, whose activities are misaligned with a safe climate, are unacceptable from an emissions perspective. With Groundswell’s support, ACCR is seeing through its mission to use (and activate company shareholders/investors to use) shareholder tools to deliver changes to company strategy across target companies, to decrease absolute, real world emissions, in line with the best available science. ACCR has proven impact and are on a growth trajectory to expand their company coverage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/38741105-841b-4e77-80f6-4b6b940e7563/3.png Impact - Environment Centre NT, May 2023 The NT is ground zero for the fossil fuel industry’s expansion plans in Australia, and the Environment Centre NT is the only organisation campaigning to stop all three new gas projects planned: the Beetaloo Basin, the Barossa gasfield, and the Middle Arm petrochemical hub. Funding will ensure that Munupi clan representative and community campaigner, Antonia Burke, can be paid for her time so she can continue to build her campaigning capacity and support Tiwi Traditional Owners to sustain their fight against the Barossa gas project. It is vital that this campaign is First Nations-led, to minimise extractive campaigning practices and ensure that Tiwi people can work with someone they trust implicitly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/cc1a27ec-28ee-4264-9046-da3a2d00fa90/11.png Impact - Australian Marine Conservation Society, May 2023 Australia remains one of the world’s most active offshore oil and gas provinces, but the political landscape is shifting against new fossil fuel projects opening. In October 2023, the next round of annual offshore petroleum releases will be announced, making now the best time to challenge these proposals. This campaign requires expertise, collaboration across the eNGO sector, resources, staff, excellent and impactful communications. While the investment required is significant, the outcomes achieved will help dictate the future of Australia's marine environment and our planet. Thanks to seed funding, AMCS has commenced a campaign to stop offshore acreage releases in the south-east region. Now, funding from Groundswell will help AMCS develop a larger, more high-profile communications campaign. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/c9f868da-d82a-41d4-b2b0-5af697343b8e/f38a65db-43cd-1b00-1c29-6075034515de.png Impact - Multicultural Leadership Initiative, December 2022 The time to accelerate multicultral climate action is now. Given a quarter of Australians are racially, culturally and linguistically diverse yet represent only a tiny fraction of the climate movement (let alone the climate movement leadership), MLI is focused on identifying and developing community and culturally resonate climate messaging. These messages will be delivered through culturally specific trusted messengers and spaces. Through this we hope to inspire the seven million racially, culturally and linguistically diverse Australians to participate in building a climate safe future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/e2917d9e-cff0-4aac-ac8f-8dc337e1f1be/6d17f340-8291-fe08-9356-e585e8172410.png Impact - The Victorian Forest Alliance, December 2022 The Victorian Forest Alliance is working closely with member communities and First Nations people to end native forest logging immediately in order to preserve forests as natural carbon sinks. Native forest logging in Victoria produces significant greenhouse gas emissions, generating around 3 million tonnes of carbon (CO2e) each year. The recent announcements by Victoria’s state government to achieve net zero by 2045 and a 75-80% emissions reduction target by 2035 presents an opportunity to leverage the latest findings of the carbon report to drive down emissions. Protecting forests is a low-cost, effective and immediate way to achieve both emissions reduction and to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/d5b28c23-b719-487d-a001-cd85bccbae17/Grant+winners+gudanji.jpg Impact - Gudanji for Country, September 2022 ‘Gudanji For Country was formed to help elevate the voices of the Clan group, the Kurrunjini Rrumburriya (part of the Gudanji Nation), in speaking for and caring for our Country. As a grass roots First Nations organisation, they are fighting to protect our Country from the damaging effects of overgrazing, mining and now fracking. In fighting to protect their Country, they are also aiming to elevate the voices of other First Nations and their own struggles. In doing so, they hope to better inform the wider public about our goals to protect Country, how they can join us in this fight and how we will all benefit from working together to protect our environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/2452ab10-7363-43f7-9470-5dcc82161e99/3.jpg Impact - AYCC, $40,000, April 2022 In the lead up to the 2022 Federal election, the Australian Youth Climate Coalition will empower young people to vote for meaningful climate action; elevate the voices and concerns of young people to our political leaders; and demonstrate our political power by growing the youth climate justice movement and building mass support for climate justice. A central goal during this time is to win strong policy commitments from at least one major party to raise their ambition on climate action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/261f72df-28d5-4533-aae0-7caf59be3c6e/5.jpg Impact - Indigenous Peoples Organisation, April 2022 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities disproportionately feel the impacts of climate change. It threatens our rights to health, water, food, housing, self-determination. We seek to build the capacity of IPO members to raise awareness and engage decision-makers in supporting Australia’s transition to zero emissions and climate-resilient futures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/b62c0cad-1cae-4b60-a34d-a63aecebb2ce/Grant+winners+Aug+2023+long+%28Instagram%29.png Impact - Solar Citizens, December 2021 Solar Citizens campaigns for a fast and fair transition to renewable energy that is aligned with current climate science.

Their vision is for Australia to be farming forever: we work to ensure emissions are reduced in a way that works for farming and rural communities, and that they are supported to be sustainable in the face of a changing climate. This is critical as farmers are frequently recognised as some of the most trusted voices on climate change and they can help communicate with public and political audiences about climate change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/1631745758473-M5J2WFLDLQFFK5GD9FI0/we+fund2.jpg Impact - Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, May 2020 Seed’s main campaign is to stop fracking in the Northern Territory - specifically targeting Origin Energy who are one of the first major energy companies planning to frack. In 2018, after the moratorium was lifted by the NT Labour Government, 51% of the territory was opened to unconventional oil and gas exploration and extraction. Fracking the NT will blow the world’s carbon budget past 1.5 degrees causing irreparable damage to communities, country and culture in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/1631745922940-WRM9R7B6E62UO6UY8G3D/we+fund.jpg Impact - Emergency Leaders for Climate Action, January 2020 Tackling climate change effectively requires rapidly and deeply reducing greenhouse gas pollution here in Australia and around the world.

By putting climate issues front and centre in overlooked communities, this reporting ensured voters had independent, trusted information when it mattered most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/6a38f0c2-464c-4572-921c-17a0080873e9/15.png What we do - Won a 30% battery rebate After years of relentless advocacy, Solar Citizens helped secure a federal rebate on home batteries in an election year – protecting 4 million solar households, debunking nuclear myths, and positioning batteries as the next big step. The policy is set to save households up to $1,100 a year and unlock over a million new batteries by 2030, a critical boost for Australia’s clean energy future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/e67b4815-fd65-4ea1-8554-fca0c85e2755/ENVIRONS+KIMBERLY+%282%29.png What we do - Exposed a 20-year gas cover up Obtained explosive FOI documents revealing Santos’ Darwin LNG hub has been leaking huge amounts of methane since 2006 – a scandal regulators knew about but failed to act on. By uncovering this, ECNT is challenging regulatory capture and pressuring the government to fix one of Australia’s most dangerous and costly methane leaks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/a7b87239-6c45-48b4-8824-c0b7e3d5ef76/17.png What we do - Held big polluters to account Parents for Climate’s legal action forced EnergyAustralia to apologise to 400,000 customers and settle over greenwashing claims – a landmark win setting a new standard for corporate climate accountability. Now, they are preparing legal action to hold the federal government accountable to its emissions reduction targets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/d7881402-63d3-4405-9122-8a76a8de3adc/ENVIRONS+KIMBERLY+%283%29.png What we do - Secured $77 million for Torres Strait resilience A major federal investment in seawalls and climate infrastructure across five Torres Strait islands marks a vital step in adapting to rising seas. This funding will help safeguard homes, culture and communities on the frontline of climate impacts, with First Nations leadership guiding the path forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da6541d517c244e83b79581/67139c47-d225-49e1-95fe-c1f5ba4f27e1/connective+tissue.jpg What we do -
