Campaigns

Every parent wants the same thing: a safe, liveable world for their kids to grow up in. Climate change is already reshaping that world with hotter summers, harsher disasters, dirtier air and how much worse it gets is still up to us.

Parents for Climate campaigns on three fronts: stopping what's making things worse, building the clean future our kids deserve, and helping families respond to the impacts already here. None of these wins alone, we need parent power - that's you - behind all three.

Here's where you can help.

1. Stop Making It Worse

Some level of warming is already locked in but how much worse it gets from here is still being decided, and parents have every right to fight for the safest possible outcome for their kids.

Every tonne of pollution we stop, every harmful practice we end, and every bad decision we block is a future disaster made a little less severe.

This is about refusing to let things get worse than they have to be, for our children and every generation after them.

Coal Costs Families

Coal isn't just warming the planet, it's costing families right now, through higher power bills, polluted air, and a future our kids didn't choose. A fair transition means workers and communities aren't left behind, but it also means we stop pretending coal is a long-term plan. Parents have a right to demand a fair deal, for household budgets and for the world our kids inherit.

Clean Air for Kids

Kids breathe faster and closer to the ground than adults do, which means they absorb more of the exhaust idling outside schools and childcare centres every day. Truck and vehicle pollution is linked to asthma, impaired lung development, and other health harms that follow children for life. Simple fixes like idle-off policies and the electrification of transport vehicles can cut this exposure fast.

2. Build The Future

For all the damage being done, there's also real, tangible progress happening and parents are part of building it.

Every school with solar on the roof, every home that's warmer in winter and cooler in summer, every local group getting organised is proof this future is possible.

This is where hope turns into action. What future are you imagining for your kids?

Solar Our Learning

Solar-powered schools cut energy bills, free up money for classrooms instead of power companies, and give kids a daily, visible example of the clean energy future in action. It's climate action kids can literally see on their school roof.

Climate Safe Homes

A safe home should protect your family from extreme heat, cold snaps, and rising energy bills, not add to the stress. Climate Safe Homes is about pushing for stronger standards so every home, especially rentals, can keep kids safe, healthy, and comfortable as the climate changes.

Find Your Local PFC Group

Big change starts with parents talking to other parents. We have parent run local groups all over Australia, they are where the conversations, the campaigns, and the friendships that keep you going all begin, no experience necessary, just care for your kids' future.

3. Respond & Adapt Now

Climate change isn't only a future problem, it's already showing up in heatwaves, storms, and disasters that put families at risk right now.

Being prepared isn't giving up on stopping climate change; it's making sure your kids are safe while we keep fighting for a better future. This is where care becomes readiness.

Ready, Set, Prepared

Disasters are becoming more frequent and more intense, and having a plan before you need one can make all the difference for your family. From knowing your evacuation route to packing a go-bag, small steps now mean less panic later.

Heat

Extreme heat is one of the most dangerous and most underestimated climate risks for kids, from classrooms without cooling to babies and toddlers who can't regulate their own body temperature. Knowing the warning signs and how to keep your home and family cool can genuinely save lives.
