Coalition for Conservation

What Coalition for Conservation does

Coalition for Conservation (C4C) is an Australian environmental charity founded in 2018 and registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient with ABN 82 201 923 025. The organization advocates for evidence-based, technology-neutral policy solutions across three pillars: Energy, Agriculture, and Biodiversity. Its stated proposition is that environmental protection and economic growth are complementary rather than competing goals, and it differentiates itself from mainstream environmental NGOs by engaging with centre-right and conservative stakeholders, including on contentious topics such as nuclear energy.

C4C's primary outputs are policy advocacy, campaigns, and content rather than commercial products. The flagship Affordable Energy Australia (AEA) campaign runs a public petition and targets national energy affordability policy. The organization publishes articles, webinars, policy submissions, statements, and videos via its Media & Webinars archive, and operates a quarterly briefing email newsletter. Its nuclear policy submission was identified by the Australian Financial Review as the most cited paper in a parliamentary inquiry, demonstrating disproportionate policy influence relative to organizational scale. The organization also runs international agricultural knowledge-transfer work in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific.

The business model is non-commercial: C4C is funded by tax-deductible donations from thousands of individual supporters, with no disclosed pricing tiers, subscription products, or commercial revenue streams. Distribution is primarily domestic via a single Sydney headquarters, the organization website, email, phone, and petition platforms, with international reach limited to programmatic partnerships. Strategic partners span conservation (Rainforest Reserves Australia, Taronga Conservation Society), regenerative agriculture (Mulloon Institute, Regenerative Australian Farmers), global research (ILRI/CGIAR), and energy advocacy (WePlanet Australia, World Nuclear Association). Hon. Larry Anthony AO serves as Chair.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• WePlanet Australia: An Australian environmental advocacy nonprofit and existing C4C homepage partner. Directly comparable as a small-team, donation-funded climate and energy advocacy organization.
• Australian Conservation Foundation: Australia's largest environmental advocacy charity. Direct peer across biodiversity, climate, and member-driven advocacy; comparable supporter-base model and federal policy engagement, different political orientation.
• WWF-Australia: Major Australian conservation and biodiversity nonprofit. Direct peer on the biodiversity pillar, with corporate/individual donor base and conservation partnerships analogous to C4C's model.
• Climate Council: Australia's flagship climate-advocacy nonprofit. Directly comparable as a science-communicating, public-facing policy advocate on climate and energy, though politically positioned further to the left than C4C.
• Regenerative Australian Farmers: An existing C4C homepage partner and Australian regenerative-agriculture advocacy network. Direct peer on the Agriculture pillar with shared tech-neutral, evidence-based framing.

Emerging players

• Beyond Zero Emissions: Australian climate and energy think tank producing policy submissions to Australian parliamentary inquiries. Same advocacy funnel as C4C but more narrowly focused on emissions pathways.
• Environmental Defenders Office Australia: Australian environmental law and policy advocacy charity. Comparable as a policy-influencing nonprofit using submissions and legal advocacy to shape environmental outcomes; complementary rather than overlapping offerings.

Regional players

• Energy Consumers Australia: Australian consumer-advocacy body for energy affordability. Comparable mission on household energy hardship referenced by AEA; operates as an industry-funded body rather than donation-driven.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Energy Council: Australian peak body for the clean-energy industry. Overlapping Australian energy-policy territory as C4C, but representing renewables industry interests rather than technology-neutral advocacy.
• The Australia Institute: Australia's leading progressive think tank with energy and climate programs. Comparable as a research-driven policy influencer producing cited submissions; broader agenda beyond environment.
