We're Victoria's leading, independent environment group working to safeguard our environment and the future

 

What we do 

We’re environmental advocates and educators, speaking up for our environment and helping others do the same. We:

  • We champion our environment and the people who care about it
  • We develop solutions and partnerships to create large, permanent environmental outcomes
  • We help people understand and reduce their impacts on our environment 

Our focus

We recognise that there are many pressing environmental concerns. And unfortunately we don’t have the (wo)man power to take them all on. So we’re focusing our time and resources on the most urgent issues facing our state and our world. So, (drumroll please...) the main focus of our efforts over the next several years will be around creating:

1. Creating a safe climate

We campaign for Victoria to lead the way in slashing greenhouse pollution and pioneering the shift to a clean energy and energy efficient economy.

2. Restoring our ecosystems to health

We campaign for a future where healthy rivers and catchments sustain abundant life and prosperous communities and provide us with good food, clean water and places to love and enjoy.

3. Helping people live sustainably

We help people overcome barriers to sustainable living and find new ways to green up their personal life and tread more lightly on the earth.

4. Leading environmental ideas, opinion and action

We influence environmental policy, ideas and opinion in Victoria and hold the state government and decision-makers to account for their decisions and actions. But most of all, we reach out to people that are not traditionally part of the environment movement.

We’ve set some pretty audacious goals for Victoria. Get the full list
