How do I differentiate between a champion, a signatory, and a partner?

Answer

Climate Champions have embraced the collaborative nature of the BFA network - recognising that Australia can go further and faster by working together. They are already taking, or are looking to take, climate action, and are receptive to support and inspiration to take further steps today.

A signatory refers to the individual organisations or stakeholders that join the coalition, such as local governments, companies, civil society organisations or associations of local governments or businesses.

A partner refers to an organisation that provides support and/or advice to run the coalition, including those organisations represented on the Steering Committee and leading the Sector Working Groups. 

The term member is sometimes used to refer to signatories and partners.
