After 20 years of fraught negotiations, people like you around the world pushed our leaders to work together to tackle global warming.
It's a phenomenal outcome. This is our chance to celebrate, reflect and ready ourselves for the real work to come.
It's a big step in the right direction. The world agreed to limit global warming to 2 degrees. And more importantly try for 1.5 degrees. It's bolder than almost anyone predicted.
On its own, it won't be enough. Australia's current policies won't get us anywhere near these targets. In fact, if every country sticks with their current domestic policies, we'll end up at somewhere between 3-4 degrees warming. An unmitigated disaster.
Forces are already at work to undermine the progress we've made. Without missing a beat, sceptics in the Liberal and National Parties are already doing everything they can to undermine the deal -- and they have the Murdoch press cheer squad on their side.
But worse still -- Environment Minister Greg Hunt and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop are using this historic agreement to back in the biggest polluters.
It's clear -- conservatives will do anything they can to undermine the Paris Climate Agreement -- and it's our job to stop them.
We are at our most powerful during an election year, and one could be only months away.
Can you volunteer to help change this election?
