Darebin Climate Action Network is an active member of the Climate Emergency Network – a network of community organisations and individuals campaigning for an urgent and effective response to a climate and sustainability emergency.
The formation of the network was inspired by the publication of Climate Code Red: the case for emergency action, by Melbourne authors David Spratt and Philip Sutton. (Scribe Publications, 2008).
Our Vision
We face a climate emergency. Our vision is to work together at emergency speed to restore in a just way a safe climate in time for all people, all species and all generations.
Our Campaign objectives
- Continue to build community understanding of the latest climate science and its implications for action. Specifically we aim to build community support for a goal of stabilisation at 300ppm CO2 and strong international agreement in line with what science and global justice demands.
- Build community action to achieve a rapid 100% renewable energy and a zero emissions economy.
- Build community support to prevent the building of new fossil fuel infrastructure and to close down existing fossil fuel infrastructure.
- Identify local fossil fools (fuels!) and out them!
