Today we heard about a collaborative Regional Climate Alliance in the large and remote Goldfields Esperance region of WA. The alliance is gaining traction and finding value for its nine small and under-resourced LGA members by sharing a 1 FTE Coordinator, a position that is hosted by the Shire of Esperance.
Come along to learn about the projects undertaken so far:
- A Carbon Emissions Baseline Study,
- Renewable Energy Audit,
- and a Risk Assessment and Adaptation Plan.
