Beyond Coal Coast
locals for a safe climate
We believe that taking action on the climate will be good for the economy, good for jobs, great for the environment and urgent for stabilising the climate systems our kids will inherit.
“No corner of the globe is immune from the devastating consequences of climate change.”
-António Guterres, secretary general UN General Assembly
Who are we?
Beyond Coal Coast is a grassroots organisation in the Northern Illawarra seeking stronger action on climate change for the sake of future generations of Australians.
Coal has turned on the lights and built our lifestyle for 100+ years and we’re proud of our history as Australia’s ‘Coal Coast’.
Workers in The Illawarra’s coal economy need fair options for a secure future in a new, clean economy beyond coal.
Beyond Coal Coast has no party affiliation and no formal organisation. We’re a group of local volunteers who want our kids to live in a world that’s safe.
We want to see our homes and region powering ahead with clean cheap, reliable electricity.

What can you do?
Taking action on the climate emergency doesn’t mean you have to walk the streets with a banner, though you can do that too! :)
Here are five simple things you can do that will have an impact: vote, have conversations, stay informed and adapt.
And electrify everything within your reach. If you can’t afford it or don’t own your home, join with us to lobby our political reps at all levels to bring reliable, cheap and clean power to everyone.

“Look around and you might just see the opportunity to add momentum to conditions that deliver a tipping point of regional, national or even global proportions where you live, work or play”
