The Climate Council and Cities Power Partnership’s new report (to be released on 22 September 2021), Neighbourhood issue: climate costs and risks for councils, unpacks climate change impacts, challenges and risks Australian councils are facing.

Thursday 23 September, 2021 at 2-3pm AEST.

Join us for a special briefing that will cover the report’s key findings that every council in Australia must be across, including:

• why climate change is an immense challenge for all levels of government, but its impacts are felt most acutely at the local level
• how worsening extreme weather, driven by climate change, is compounding costs for councils. This includes mounting damage to council-owned assets, rising insurance premiums and increasing liability risks
• the barriers for councils in taking greater action on climate risks with dozens of local case studies
• a full suite of recommendations to better address climate change and associated risks for local, state/territory and federal governments
• the opportunities and benefits for councils to act on climate change
