About: Climate 200
Climate 200 is a community crowdfunding initiative that supports community-backed independents to stand for election to advance climate policy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the country and limit climate change in Australia. Its convener told the ABC that the backed candidates "have a shared philosophy on climate change, integrity and gender equity." The candidates were colloquially grouped by the media as the teal independents, indicating their policies as being "a shade between blue Liberal and green."
