The date of the federal election may not have been announced yet, but Climate Future is calling the community together to discuss the biggest elephant in the room – the climate crisis and how to make it THE campaign issue of 2025.
Climate Future Spokesperson, Richard Weller, said the climate crisis is not waiting for the Prime Minister to find the best time to declare an election.
“The climate crisis is happening right now – Cyclone Alfred and its aftermath, bushfires, coral bleaching – you name it, we are surrounded by the consequences of the ongoing failure of our governments to address global warming,” Mr Weller said.
“It is up to the community to demand action. We have waited too long, and it will be too late if we wait another election cycle. So, what are we going to do about it?”
Weller said the first thing that needs to happen urgently is that communities come together to collectively discuss the climate problems we are facing and how we can take positive action.
“Climate Future is organising a series of free forums including presentations and public discussions,” he said.
The next free forum was held at Narara Eco Village on March 27 from 6:30pm until 8:30pm with Richard Weller and Dennis Angove giving presentations. Book here.
Richard will talk about increasing extreme events and the latest climate science and policies needed.
“Governments around the world have failed to stop greenhouse gas concentrations rising. What policies are now needed to get us back on track to the Paris goals?”
The final session of the evening will be a discussion about risks on the Central Coast and the way forward.
“Come and learn about how our climate is changing, what might be in store and how we must react.”
