It's the "greenest government in Australian history", according to the Greens who trumpeted their achievements on the first anniversary of entering their coalition with Labor.
In the 2020 election, they got 24 per cent of the seats in the ACT Legislative Assembly. The result is six MLAs, three of them in the cabinet which governs alongside Labor.
On the anniversary, they have been promoting what they say are their achievements.
"This has been one of the most challenging years ever for Canberrans, but the way we have responded, with genuine care for each other, makes me proud to be part of this government and part of this community," said leader and ACT Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury.
Mr Rattenbury believed the party had made a difference on the environment.
He cited "ending the rollout of fossil fuel gas to new suburbs" as one concrete achievement.
As we celebrate one year of the greenest government in Australia's history, I'm looking forward to all that we can and must do.

The aim was to make sure all new suburbs were powered by electricity generated from solar, wind or other forms not using coal or gas, the burning of which produces global-warming carbon dioxide.
There have been points of disagreement between Labor and Greens. Last year, Chief Minister Andrew Barr seemed to voice concern that he would have to rein the Greens in.
He said at the time that his Labor party would not support any "crazy Greens proposal" which would see households forced to switch off gas appliances before they were ready to.
Mr Barr said the transition from gas to electricity was best achieved by helping households - not by seeking to impose a "rigid ideology" on them.
'We are not bringing out a big stick and saying you're a bad person if you use gas," he said at the time.
Apart from the move against gas, the Greens are also proud to have driven "booted banks out of our public schools".
In February, they introduced a motion to ban school banking programs like Dollarmites offered by the Commonwealth Bank.
Labor and the Liberals supported the motion, though the Liberals did put forward an amendment to extend the transition until the end of the next school year. The motion, one of the first proposed by the Green MLAs after the election last year, was put forward by education spokesman Johnathan Davis.
"We will always put people before profits," he said as he marked the anniversary of the election victory.
Mr Rattenbury conceded that there were differences within the governing cabinet. Labor and Greens negotiated and debated polices from different perspectives.
"We are a two-party government that exists in a constant state of push and pull," he said. "Labor and the Greens have provided stable, progressive government for the people of Canberra."
"As we celebrate one year of the greenest government in Australia's history, I'm looking forward to all that we can and must do over the coming three years to act on climate change and counter rising inequality."
