Australian Youth Climate Coalition
[6] In 2011, the national director was Ellen Sandell, who was on The Age list of top 100 most influential people in Melbourne, and had been nominated as 2009 Victorian Young Australian of the Year.Guests included former Vice President of the USA Al Gore, the swimmer Ian Thorpe and the actress Brooke Satchwell.[citation needed] In September 2011 the AYCC held a second Youth Decide, giving young people the opportunity to vote on the renewable energy targets they wanted the Federal Government to set.[citation needed] During the 2010 election campaign the AYCC mobilised hundreds of young people to put climate change back on the political agenda.[citation needed] In July 2014 AYCC launched the #StopAdani campaign[22] to get Westpac to rule out working with Adani at a National Summit with 200 young people in Canberra.[citation needed] After a three-year campaign, in 2017, Westpac announced their updated climate policy, which not only rules out involvement in Adani but sets a pathway to transition out of thermal coal and into more renewable energy.
