The Next Economy: Top Australian Climate Nonprofit Spotlight
Giving Green recommends The Next Economy (TNE) as one of Australia's most effective organisations in combating climate change. Their evidence-based theory of change and history of success are complemented by expansive community engagement work. Their unique insights are rooted in on-the-ground consultations and provide policymakers with a meaningful lens through which to view climate change and then to act.
The Next Economy works across all economic sectors to accelerate Australia’s transition to a climate-centered, economically sound future. The Next Economy works with all stakeholders to tackle some of the hardest issues facing the country as Australia moves towards net zero: for example, the decarbonisation of the land sector, and the sustainable and fair development of heavy industries key to Australia’s export future like green manufacturing and critical minerals development. The Next Economy’s ability to leverage what it is learning on the ground to influence new policies sets it apart from many other organisations.
Because public support and action are integral to Australia’s transition to a zero-carbon future, TNE collaborates with communities, industries, and governments to identify climate opportunities that are pragmatic and meaningful to all stakeholders. TNE has also identified green heavy industry as a major area of focus, and it considers green industrial exports a core pillar of Australia’s future economy.
The Next Economy’s approach and deep relationships with communities across the country increase the likelihood of accelerated action on climate change by ensuring that new developments deliver lasting and tangible benefits for the climate, communities, workers, and the environment.
The Next Economy reports a funding gap of $400,000 AUD and would invest new funds in 2024 to further its research and policy advisory work at both state and federal levels.
