The Australian
Bushfire Survivor Declaration
We are bushfire survivors, and the Australians who stand beside them.
We stand together in community to demand urgent action on climate.
In the wake of the Black Summer bushfires, an inspiring movement of climate leaders emerged. Five years on, these are their stories.
Have you or your community been hit by disasters or extreme weather?

Our Impact
1.
We won against the NSW EPA in the Land and Environment Court arguing they had a duty to regulate against greenhouse gas emissions (2021), became a trusted stakeholder on their resulting court ordered climate change policy and action plan and are involved in monitoring its implementation.
2.
We contributed to the 2022 federal ‘climate election’ through local organising and candidate forums in the marginal electorates of Eden-Monaro and Macquarie.
3.
We broke international news at COP26 of Santos' domination of the Australia Pavilion and co-hosted a panel with First Nations People discussing climate impacts, in the Australian Pavilion at COP27.
