We’re a grassroots movement of Labor members and supporters working to put the environment at the centre of our politics.
Together we celebrate Labor’s environmental legacy and campaign to ensure it remains central to its future.
Since reforming in 2014 we’ve run campaigns that have fundamentally shaped Labor’s policies on climate and environment, resulting in significant wins for nature at all levels of government including: national environmental law reform, a federal EPA, ambitious climate targets, public investment in renewables and more.
LEAN is an active participant in environmental debates across the party. We work with affiliated unions, MPs and other stakeholders from all corners of the party to advocate for good environmental outcomes which reflect Labor’s values of social justice, decent work and strong communities. We are non-factional and believe that good people working hard can change the direction of the party.
With local groups across Australia, state & territory organisations and a national body, LEAN engages at all levels of government. Everyday LEAN members are champions of environmental issues within their branches, advocating to local MPs and councillors. Collectively, we achieve breakthrough wins for nature and the climate.
