Together we can forge a climate strategy that ensures no Victorian is left behind.
Background
Friends of the Earth are looking for people from all walks of life to participate - First Nations people, unionists, and more. We want to hand a strategy to the Andrews government that's been put together by a big and diverse group of Victorian community members, who all want strong action on climate.
Friends of the Earth Melbourne has been building the case for science-based Emissions Reduction Targets in Victoria for the last couple of years through the work of the Act on Climate campaign.
We are expanding our focus to the state's first Climate Change Strategy which the Andrews govt is required to prepare by 31 Oct 2020. It represents an opportunity to create jobs, tackle disadvantage, and rein in emissions. But as the government is occupied dealing with the pandemic, we’ve decided to take the strategy off their hands - and throw it to the community.
To ensure that the climate strategy centres the ideas and voices of our diverse communities, we've launched our online survey on climate solutions. We welcome people to contribute ideas via the online survey.
The more people who participates in this campaign for Victoria's People Climate Strategy, the more we can flood the Victorian Government with our voices, and ensure our state's climate strategy proposal is the one they go ahead with.
