EMPOWERING MORELAND
Community Climate Action Forum
Thursday August 7, 2014 at 7pm
Coburg Concert Hall (90 Bell St)
Hosted by Rod Quantock
Our governments have failed to act on climate change – indeed some are now winding back climate policies.
The good thing is we don't have to wait for governments to do something. The fight for a safe climate is being fought on other fronts and real progress is being made. Ordinary people everywhere are taking action on climate in places that often aren't in the news - the council chambers, churches, bank branches and school halls we pass every day.
Around Australia and the world people are getting involved in actions to change our institutions to drive the change we need to see in our economies, our societies and our politics.
Moreland is host to a range of activities where people are working together to put action on climate change back on the agenda. Some examples are: Fossil fuel divestment campaigns, local climate education events, pressuring political candidates, increasing the climate resilience of our community, developing community renewable energy facilities, and organising local food production.
By working together we can turn the tide. In fact, that tide is already rising (just as the science predicted!) and it will flow through our community and uplift us as we do what needs to be done.
Together, our voices and our actions can make a difference
If a safe climate is important to you, there isn’t any choice in this – action is mandatory. Join us now in grassroots community climate action!
