In an Australian-first, the Climate Council will unveil a plan at 11am today, Wednesday 27 March, at Yarralea Children’s Centre in Alphington for how two-in-three households can benefit as we electrify the country and end climate pollution for our kids.
Hot on the heels of the hottest year on record, mothers, climate experts and young people will spell out how we put solar panels on 4 million more rooftops and create a safer future by building a clean economy that delivers better health outcomes and good long-term job opportunities for every Australian child alive today and all those to come.
