This report charts a path for renewable energy and nature to work in harmony, arguing that renewable energy projects should be built on degraded land away from high conservation value areas. It calls for investment in local energy solutions and embedding biodiversity gains into every project. The report recommends an urgent overhaul of national and state environmental laws to ensure every project creates net gains and positive outcomes for nature.

As the climate crisis escalates, this report proposes a plan for Australia to be 100% powered by renewables that are good for nature. It calls for all levels of government, industry and community to work together to support an energy transition that is good for nature and people, and an end to the misinformation on energy. Governments should invest in Local Energy Hubs to support communities and counter disinformation. The report concludes renewable projects must be built in the right places with buffer zones to protect nature and no-go zones to include national parks, world heritage areas and key biodiversity areas.
