The Climate Emergency poses fundamental challenges regarding our relationship with nature and our relationships with each other. Our response will have far reaching consequences over vast distances and even vaster timescales. We must appreciate these issues on a global scale and, as individuals and communities, take action at the local level.

The causes and impacts of climate change from an Australian perspective have been thoroughly documented. An excellent resource to explore on these issues is the independent Climate Council.

This generation is in the privileged position of being able to change history for the better for every generation that is yet to come. We alone possess both memory and foresight. We alone can imagine and create the best and worst of futures. We alone have it within our power to take action now, for as a sage once said, “If not now, when?”
