What is Make Big Polluters Pay?
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.
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 increasing inequality 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.
