ABOUT CLIMATE ACTION TEAM
We are a group of ordinary citizens from many backgrounds committed to advocating for and initiating climate action in our community. We are an incorporated, not-for-profit and politically unaffiliated association, supported by donations and grants. CAT is managed entirely by volunteers with a Steering Committee which meets fortnightly. We welcome all who would like to work with us.
OUR VISION
The Climate Action Team is motivated by the evidence of climate science. While we share a common fear about the consequences of 'business as usual', we believe that all-of-society urgent action is still possible to reduce emissions and prevent an environmental and social catastrophe. We work to empower people and to influence our local government to protect our land, waterways and biodiversity for a healthy and flourishing future.
OUR PURPOSE
Guided by the science, our purpose is to: encourage, support and facilitate the transition away from the fossil-fuel based status quo, and enhance biodiversity protection in our shire, in pursuit of a liveable environment into the future.
OUR VALUES
A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT: take care of the natural environment, including its land, waterways, air and biodiversity for the benefit of all species and future generations.
SCIENCE AND REASON: use evidence-based science and reason to formulate policies and actions.
COMRADESHIP: work together respectfully and inclusively in non-violent, peaceful ways to accomplish the changes needed.
