Make Big Polluters Pay Alliance

We are a powerful coalition of climate disaster impacted communities, development, faith, climate, youth, social service, First Nations and Pacific organisations working hand in hand with allies.

The Make Big Polluters Pay campaign aims to raise the voices raises the voices of communities in Australia and the Pacific to share their experiences and highlight how the profit-driven fossil fuel industry show how big coal, oil and gas corporations is putting the costs of climate change onto communities and not contributing their fair share.

We will fight for compensation for impacted communities and for cost-of-living relief for everyday people from coal, gas and oil corporations, who are most responsible for causing climate change, by campaigning for the government to put a levy on big polluting corporations responsible for climate pollution.

We take up this fight to challenge the current system that is increasinginequality and leading to the destruction of the natural environment that we rely on. Right now a handful of people and corporations are increasing their already inconceivable wealth by exploiting fossil fuels and polluting the environment, harming our communities. Our campaign aims to reverse this unfair situation, support our communities and protect our environment.

Urge the Prime Minister to make polluting corporations pay now.

Will you join us? Demand the government take action to ensure big corporations polluting our climate pay for the damage they are causing and the cost of supporting impacted communities.
