The clean energy market is growing fast. Governments and companies are investing billions of dollars in solar farms, wind farms, batteries, and microgrids.
Australia is changing its electricity production to help fight climate change. This means using more solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources instead of coal and gas.
First Nations people have a big role to play in this change because of strong connections to Country and legal rights over much of the land. Some communities are building solar farms; others are setting up microgrids and battery systems to power remote areas. These projects can help communities save money, stay safe during extreme weather, and create local jobs.
There are lots of ways you can be part of the clean energy future:
