Climate Summit for Local Government
Join us for afternoon tea at 3pm AEST Thursday 28th September as we hear from the City of Melville in WA as they discuss the innovative approach they’re taking to tackle climate change by working alongside their community.
In 2022, Melville established the Climate Action Reference Group (CARG) made up of passionate community members, which has been meeting monthly over a 12 month period to discuss their ideas on reducing carbon emissions and also contributing to the City’s Climate Action Plan.
CARG members have been working with the Council to support local communities and businesses to increase their climate resilience and promote innovative ideas to solve the climate crisis.

Our Afternoon Tea Q&As run for half an hour, every second Thursday at 3pm AEST. We’d love for our member councils to join us!
