Alpine Future Statement - Protect Our Winters Australia

Our Alpine Future

Our Alpine Future

Building Our Alpine Future

Australia’s Alps are changing – and our community sees that change. Winters are getting shorter, snowlines are rising, and alpine communities are feeling the heat. Why? Because our government continues to put the profits of massive coal and gas companies above the health of our beautiful snowy mountains and communities.

Our mountains are a climate frontline. This isn’t just about snow; it’s about the people, the livelihoods, and the landscapes that define our Alps.

We’re calling for a future where our alpine environment and communities are healthy, snowy, resilient and thriving. But we can’t do it alone – sign our statement to add your name to the collective call to Protect Our Alpine Future – a future where change is designed with and by alpine communities.

Your signature shows power in numbers – to create a collective voice that is impossible to ignore. Once we hit our goal of 1000 signatures, we’ll use this statement to inform decision-makers of the public’s demand to take strong action to protect our mountains and communities.

Have a vision for our alpine future? We want to hear it.

Let us know what your alpine future looks like when you sign the statement or share your vision on social media using #myalpinefuture

    POW’s vision is an alpine future where our communities are resilient and thriving, and where our environment is snowy, healthy and protected.

    This future requires a safe and just transition away from fossil fuels, an end to fossil fuel development and exports and the implementation of a comprehensive alpine adaptation plan. We demand urgent government action that safeguards alpine ecosystems, supports local communities and ensures a future where our alpine regions thrive.

    Protect Our Alpine Future

    Protect Our Alpine Future is a grassroots campaign to establish a clear link between the burning of coal and gas and the changes we are seeing in alpine regions. This campaign is a collective call for action to secure a safe alpine future for our mountains and communities through organised, visible pressure for change.

    We need the mountains, and the mountains need our help.
    It’s time to take back our alpine future.

    Protect Our Winters Australia acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which we live, work and play. We pay respects to the Elders, past, present and future, across the many Nations. Their ancestral ties to country have never been extinguished, and sovereignty never ceded.
