Want to progress climate adaptation in your community? Act on Climate's Frontline Climate Alliance Vic (FCAV) are holding calls fully focused on supporting local leaders in Victorian communities wanting to help progress community-led climate adaptation locally.
The alliance began exploring climate adaptation in Victoria as a group in November 2023, first focusing on bringing people together to learn about, amplify, and action community-led climate adaptation. Now, the FCAV space is stepping up local Climate Adaptation Activators wanting to make their community resilient in the face of unavoidable impacts. Community catalysts ready to take their region along on the journey of adaptation will be aided by the alliance to accomplish this.
Activator call #9
Join us for the 9th Adaptation Activator call on Aug 7 at 6pm. This month, we will hear from Kim Croxford from Dindi Transition, a local community organising group based in Murrindindi Shire, Victoria, that aims to connect people with their local environment, build community resilience to climate change and other challenges, and strengthen social networks. Kim is also one of Act on Climate's new community organisers!
"A community organising project like Dindi Transition is based on the idea that connected, informed, organised citizens can make good decisions about their own lives and implement ideas for the benefit of their communities. Community organisers create people-powered change through value-based conversations and collective action."
We also hope to hear from you about how your climate adaptation projects in your community are progressing, or about any climate adaptation projects you want to start, so that we can support each other as a network.
We'll also be giving a quick update on the Vic Gov's Resilience Inquiry and discussing potential ways we could respond as a network.
Bring along any ideas, challenges or learnings you have to share with the group!
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!
This meeting is online. Hope to see you on the call!

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.
