Building a Climate Action Group to change the world!

Climate change is the biggest issue facing our society today. If we are to reduce our greenhouse pollution far enough and fast enough to prevent runaway climate change, everyone will need to play a part.

Already millions of Australians have taken action to reduce their emissions and contribute to Australia’s action on climate change – you’re probably one of them. While we all must take action on a personal level, there is only so much we can do as individuals. We need leadership and decisive action from our governments to drive the widespread change across our society and economy needed to prevent runaway climate change.

So one of the best things you can do to take action on climate change is to get involved in a Climate Action Group in your area. For a list of Climate Action Groups active in Victoria hop here.

Can’t find a Climate Action Group in your area? You’ve come to the right place.

Climate Action Groups across Australia have been started by regular people like you. You don’t have to be a climate scientist, policy expert or renewable energy buff to start a Climate Action Group. All you need is a commitment to creating change for future generations.

Keen? Check out our Climate Action Toolkit
