For councils to commit to their own corporate emissions reduction target is one thing, but to successfully engage with their community to set a community emissions reduction target also, is quite a challenge! For our September webinar, you’ll be hearing from two neighbouring Victorian councils who have managed to do just that; the City of Greater Bendigo and Macedon Ranges Shire Council.
Join us on Thursday 8 September at 2pm AEST for a very special community collaboration session that deep dives into the challenges faced and lessons learned on their respective journeys.
We’ll hear about the Greater Bendigo Climate Collaboration that is currently underway. They have pulled together leading Bendigo organisations, community groups and government agencies for three years of collective climate action and projects in Bendigo and across the region, with the aim of creating a local and regional roadmap to zero emissions by 2030.
And we’ll also hear about the Macedon Ranges Community Climate Action Plan “Cool Changes” program, how the program ties in with their broader Climate Emergency Response Plan and the challenges they’ve encountered as well as their success stories.
Come prepared with all your community collaboration questions!
