The Six Degrees climate and energy campaign works with communities and groups across the state to reduce Queensland’s dependence on the coal industry, and to ensure a just and measured transition to a safe climate future. We are working towards the creation of an ecologically sustainable and socially just society through community action.

Who we are

Friends of the Earth Brisbane's climate and energy team is committed to addressing the root causes of climate change and phasing out the coal industry in Queensland. This includes not only coal mining, but also underground coal gasification and coal seam gas mining. We are made up of a diverse group of researchers, community organisers and students.

What we do

Our campaign is grounded in the belief that broad-based community action is necessary to exert the political pressure needed to break the bond between the coal industry and the State Government.
