ABOUT CLIMATE ACTION TEAM

We are a group of ordinary citizens from many backgrounds committed to advocating for and initiating climate action in our community. We are an incorporated, not-for-profit and politically unaffiliated association, supported by donations and grants. CAT is managed entirely by volunteers with a Steering Committee which meets fortnightly. We welcome all who would like to work with us.

OUR VISION

The Climate Action Team is motivated by the evidence of climate science.  While we share a common fear about the consequences of 'business as usual', we believe that all-of-society urgent action is still possible to reduce emissions and prevent an environmental and social catastrophe. We work to empower people and to influence our local government  to protect our land, waterways and biodiversity for a healthy and flourishing future.

OUR PURPOSE

Guided by the science, our purpose is to: encourage, support and facilitate the transition away from the fossil-fuel based status quo, and enhance biodiversity protection in our shire, in pursuit of a liveable environment into the future.
