Climate, Energy and Utilities

Climate change disproportionately impacts people who face disadvantage, including people on low incomes, people with disability and chronic health conditions and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. ACTCOSS advocates for a fair, fast and inclusive transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the ACT and works with partners to ensure fair outcomes for low-income households in relation to energy and utilities more broadly.

ACTCOSS is funded by Energy Consumers Australia to support ACT low-income households, non-government organisations and small business consumers to participate fully in consultations and decision making on energy issues.
