Greens leader Richard Di Natale has made a plea to Labor to work with his party on climate change policy and election campaigning, saying Labor and the Greens need to co-operate "to get climate policy on track" and "defeat the Coalition".

Senator Di Natale said he had "consistently tried to reach out to Labor to try and establish a constructive working relationship" but had been repeatedly rebuffed, under both former Labor leader Bill Shorten and his successor, Anthony Albanese.

"There are many progressive voters who are frustrated with the lack of action on climate change and want to see a more co-operative relationship between the Greens and the Labor party," Senator Di Natale told The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age.

"We understand [Labor and the Greens] are different parties and we have different values that underpin who we are and what we stand for. But there are areas of common interest.
