CLIMATE: NSW Community Climate Summit, Sydney 19-21 February 2009

The first of its kind in NSW, the Community Climate Summit will provide an opportunity for everyday Australians to discuss our response to the critical issue of climate change and to make recommendations to the NSW Government. The NSW Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Hon Carmel Tebbutt MP, will open the summit and will receive the community’s recommendations after the event.

Climate change will impact on all Australians, now and in the future. It is therefore vital that we hear from a diverse and representative mix of everyday citizens, who have a critical perspective, in considering our response to the challenge of climate change.

The Nature Conservation Council of NSW is undertaking a broad recruitment drive inviting community members who are non aligned with the environment movement to register for the summit, and they need your help to spread the word - click here and scroll down to find out how you can help.
