Want to progress climate adaptation in your community? Act on Climate's Frontline Climate Alliance Vic (FCAV) are holding online calls focused on supporting local leaders in Victorian communities to progress community-led climate adaptation.
The alliance began exploring climate adaptation in Victoria in November 2023, first focusing on bringing people together to learn about, amplify and action community-led climate adaptation. Now, FCAV calls are focused on supporting local community leaders who are organising to support their community's resilience in the face of unavoidable climate impacts. Community members who have participated in Act on Climate's Community Resilience Mapping (or other collective process about climate adaptation) and are ready to take projects in their region forward will be aided by the rest of the alliance to accomplish this.
Online Zoom meetings are on the second Monday of the month @ 6pm-7.30pm.
Frontline Climate Alliance call #13
Join us online via Zoom on Monday February 9th @ 6pm to share learnings with other community members around Victoria as part of the Frontline Climate Alliance Vic. This call will discuss the recent bushfires and heatwaves and the community mutual aid that emerged in response. We'll also continue to support each other as we map our local climate adaptation processes, wins & challenges.
The Frontline Climate Alliance Vic is building grassroots power for community-led adaptation solutions and building pressure on the Vic government to act on climate adaptation, while preparing our communities for now unavoidable climate impacts.
RSVP to this call and come along to hear how you can progress your local community's climate adaptation!
We acknowledge that the lands we meet and work on across so called Victoria are stolen from First Nations people. Climate justice means land back and there can be no climate justice without justice for First Nations communities everywhere. Act on Climate values the leadership of elders past and present in caring for country. Solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people under settler colonialism in so called Australia is critical in the fight for liberation from all oppressive systems that devalue and exploit people and the environment.
