  • Sign the Open Letter: Put kids safety ahead of politics.

    The government’s own National Climate Risk Assessment confirms what parents across Australia already know: climate change is putting our kids and communities in danger.

    As parents, we don’t take chances with our kids safety - whether it’s buckling a seatbelt, fitting a car seat, or being sun smart, we act on the best advice. We expect our government to do the same. That means shaping climate policy with science, not politics, and committing to net zero by 2035 with strong pollution cuts this decade. Anything less puts our kids' future at risk.

    Dear Prime Minister and Ministers,

    As parents, carers, grandparents and community members, we call on you to put the safety of our children at the centre of climate policy. The National Climate Risk Assessment highlights the escalating dangers of extreme heat, bushfires, floods, and other climate impacts. Just as parents act on expert advice to protect their children, we expect our government to act on the best available science. We urge you to adopt science-led climate policy that cuts pollution at the pace required, protects our communities, and gives every child the chance to grow up safe and healthy. Their safety cannot and should not wait. 

    Sincerely,
    Australian parents, carers and grandparents and family members.

    Resource: Teaching preschool kids about energy

    Enter your details to download your copy of Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy for Children's Healthy Futures - Australia's first resource for teaching preschoolers about energy and renewables. Plus, get access to an Early Childhood Education professional development webinar about the booklet. An opportunity to hear from case studies featured in the booklet.

    Sustainability principles have been mandated in early childhood settings since the start of 2024, but without funding or resources to support educators to teach them.

    So Parents for Climate partnered with Dr Sue Elliott, Adjunct Senior Lecturer Early Childhood Education at the University of New England, to produce this resource.

    Dr Elliott is widely respected for her leadership in sustainability education for the ECEC sector, and is a key figure in the Environmental Education in Early Childhood network
