Redeem your Points for a worthy cause

Use your Velocity Points to support Climate Action

We know that flying has adverse impacts on the climate, and that nothing can directly remove the carbon emissions of your flight.

But when you choose to add Climate Action to your flight, you support important climate projects that remove or avoid carbon emissions, while delivering additional benefits – such as improved biodiversity and soil health – to places we love to travel here in Australia and around the world. And the best bit - you can redeem your Points to do it.

To learn more about the Climate Action Program, visit our Sustainability webpage.

What are carbon credits?

Across Australia and around the world, climate projects play an important role in reducing the impacts of climate change. One carbon credit represents one tonne of carbon emissions removed from the atmosphere (e.g. regenerating forests that draw down carbon from the atmosphere) or avoided from entering the atmosphere (e.g. by transitioning to more fuel-efficient energy sources). Climate projects also have a positive impact on communities on the ground - from providing Indigenous employment, to enhancing local biodiversity and natural resources.

Where are my Points going?

Traditional Owners in the remote Kimberley conduct early dry season burns to reduce unmanaged wildfires. This approach reduces carbon emissions while protecting vulnerable habitats, biodiversity, cultural sites, community infrastructure, and threatened species. The project also transfers knowledge between generations of Traditional Owners, strengthening connection to country.
James and his family are Queensland farmers who run a carbon project in the Great Barrier Reef’s Burnett Mary catchment area. They have adopted new management techniques, including the implementation of rotational grazing and cessation of land clearing, which has resulted in 2,300ha of regenerating native forest of Eucalypt and Acacia.

Additionally, this new management approach has resulted in improved water retention and reduced run off, increased land productivity and healthier, happier cattle. GreenCollar is the project developer for this project.
Approximately 125,000 Malawian families are benefitting from a more efficient cookstove thanks to Ripple Africa, helping save around 250,000 bundles of wood from being burned every week. This project reduces greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and respiratory disease associated with the ongoing smoke inhalation, and cuts down the amount of time women spend collecting firewood and cooking.
This geothermal project supports the transition from coal and oil to renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative promotes sustainable energy development and improves infrastructure, creates jobs and invests in local schools.
