The Government\u202fsees fighting climate change as a priority and\u202fhas already taken actions to address it\u202fwhile delivering for communities through its Clean Energy Superpower mission, for example by delivering 131 clean energy projects powering the equivalent of 11 million homes at the Sixth renewables auction.
