“We face a challenge of unprecedented urgency and scale – climate change. CRA2030 brings people together behind a vision for a future in which we enjoy prosperity and conserve and sustain the environment. If not now, then when?”
“Griffith University has a clear and strategic vision to support effective and just climate action throughout society. The CRI is a platform we believe can help achieve this.”
“We all have important roles to play in the effective and fair pathways to a low carbon Australia. CRI seeks to provide a platform by which these roles can be defined and coordinated. I strongly support this initiative.”
“This work of the CRI is critical and urgent, and I am both excited and honoured to be able to contribute to its objectives.”
“In remote Australia the impacts of climate change are being felt – now. Effective thermal control in public infrastructure is urgent. Listening to vulnerable communities is a pathway to positive climate action results. The Climate Ready Initiative brings sector leaders together to champion initiatives that move the dial.”
“Governments, NGO’s, businesses and communities have a shared interest in building a climate resilient future. The CRA 2030 project is uniquely placed to connect and create multi-stakeholder partnerships focused on developing a shared agenda to drive the climate action we need.”
“This is the crucial decade for climate action. The work of the Climate Ready Initiative will provide a pathway for us to create a prosperous and equitable low emissions future for us all.”
“Collaboration across sectors will help identify opportunities for partnerships and innovation in relation to climate action. Griffith University’s CRA2030 project is a terrific initiative which creates space and impetus for that collaboration. I am honoured to be involved.”
“Meaningful action on climate change will take every sector across the nation stepping forward together. Planners want to play their part in that shared future by creating more resilient communities, liveable places and a stronger natural environment across Australia. We are pleased to support the CRA2030 initiative, to join with like-minded leaders and industries to progress our shared interest in driving real climate action.”
“Engineers Australia is committed to real-world action to address the increasingly urgent threat of climate change impacts, both globally and in Australia. Engineers bring crucial insight, innovation, and pragmatic leadership to not only help meet this challenge but to realise the opportunities of a future carbon-neutral world. Working with governments, industry, academia, and the broader community, engineers can help design and build a sustainable, prosperous future for all. The CRA2030 initiative will help drive a significant and shared national agenda to that end.”
“Young people have the knowledge and ambition to create a more sustainable future that works for everyone. We want fair and inclusive climate action that leaves no one behind. The CRA2030 initiative is an opportunity to embrace climate action and to work together with young people and the entire community to determine our shared future.”
“As the peak infrastructure sustainability body across Australia and New Zealand we believe urgent action is required to shift towards low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure. We are proud to be accelerating this journey by working with industry through the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) Ratings Scheme, as well as working in partnership with organisations across our industry. CRA2030 is a powerful opportunity to break-down industry silos and achieve impact across the economy for people, the planet and business.”
“Earth’s ecosystems are in decline globally at rates unprecedented in human history – similarly, the rate of species extinctions is accelerating, with grave impacts for people around the world anticipated. One million of the world’s species are now under threat of extinction, and half of Australia’s nationally threatened animal species occur in areas planned for urban development, particularly greenfield development, which represents a current threat to Australia’s biodiversity. Landscape Architects and AILA lead a proactive response to see this reversed.”
“I am excited about UNAA being a collaborative partner with CRA2030. Having experienced scaled impact within collaborative infrastructure programs, I know the importance of such a partnerships approach. The CRA2030 model will enable UNAA to fulfil its ongoing role to convene and engage across diverse stakeholders in government, industry and civil society to work towards the UN SDGs, particularly SDG13 Climate Action, but also SDG11 Sustainable Cities & Communities, SDG9 Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure and of course SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals.”
“Chartered Accountants are trusted advisors at every level of business and government, and stand ready to help their organisations, and CRA2030, navigate the ever-improving financial sustainability frameworks needed to address climate change.”
“All of our certified operators have demonstrated their commitment to sustainable tourism practices. The more we can do in sustainability, the more our environment is protected. We can’t tackle this problem alone – the more people that get involved the bigger the outcome. Ecotourism Australia prides itself on building and maintaining strong partnerships with other organisations because together we can achieve so much more.”
