The Clean Energy Solutions Index is about moving Australia beyond the climate wars by grounding our clean energy future in the shared values, aspirations and support of the Australian people.
The Index is a unique and powerful research tool that delves deeper into public sentiment.
Designed by 89 Degrees East with support from Boundless Earth, the Index aims to paint a comprehensive picture of Australians’ support for specific clean energy solutions, including barriers to their support.
Australia is at a critical point in its transition to a clean energy future.
The need for evidence-based, community-informed leadership has never been greater and the Clean Energy Solutions Index has been created to meet this moment.
This first-of-its-kind research marks a shift from polarisation on climate change to progress on the clean energy transition.
The Clean Energy Solutions Index helps leaders understand where public support is robust, and where more engagement is needed.
With annual updates, the Index will track shifts in public sentiment over time, helping to maintain momentum and guide responsive, long-term planning.
