Why Councils?
With international agreements and national governments failing to stop – let alone reverse – global warming, councils can and are playing a key role in leading the climate emergency response.
Step 1. Acknowledge or declare we are in a Climate Emergency.
Step 2. Mobilise your community and move your council into emergency mode.

By declaring a climate emergency you are supporting a call for immediate and urgent action to reverse global warming and avoid the coming climate catastrophe. Your council can add its voice to over 1500 councils that have already declared a 'Climate Emergency'.

How did we get here?
Continued denials of the basic science, current impacts and future risk combined with incremental campaigning, suicidal targets and commitment to business as usual patterns and industries at almost any price has led us into a climate emergency.
