Grill, Baby, Grill: Aussies Set To Swelter If Leaders Follow Trump's Climate Chaos

Key Highlights in Federal Budget 2025-26

Australia’s natural world faces an unprecedented crisis. With rampant habitat destruction and the accelerating impacts of climate change, numerous ecosystems are on the brink.

In recent budgets, the Albanese government has taken initial steps to invest in nature and the climate, including the Future Made in Australia program, which earmarks billions for clean energy manufacturing and green metals. However, these early measures fall short of the robust, sustained investment needed to secure a truly sustainable, nature-positive future.

Overall investment in nature and climate remains a tiny fraction of Commonwealth spending. Out of every dollar spent, less than one cent is allocated to protecting nature and building a safe climate.

The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) urges the Albanese government to make a decisive, long-term commitment in the 2025-26 Federal Budget to protect and restore nature, drive the renewable energy transition and stop funding fossil fuel projects.
