ActionAid Australia

ActionAid Australia is a global women’s rights organisation working in over 70 countries to advance gender equality and global justice. At the heart of ActionAid’s strategy, Women’s Leadership for Climate Justice, is a dual approach to change.

We support women on the frontlines of climate injustice to lead transformative solutions to the challenges they face. In Australia, we campaign to advance climate justice for women – amplifying Pacific women’s demands and targeting the unjust systems that are fueling the climate crisis and gender inequality. Our campaigns focus on stopping Australia’s continued financing of fossil fuels and increasing Australia’s funding for locally-led climate solutions in the Pacific.

More than 70,000 Australians support ActionAid’s work in Australia and over one million people have taken action as part of our global climate justice campaigns. ActionAid Australia has a proven track record in blocking public financing of fossil fuel projects and achieving increases in Australia’s funding for climate finance and loss and damage to support communities to adapt and respond to climate change.  We’ve also shifted Australian corporate policies in support of women’s rights, including in their global supply chains.
