Climate Emergency Action Plan

The City of Stonnington has declared a climate emergency. Climate change is already impacting our environment, human health and local economy, and it requires an immediate and urgent response.

We all need to work together – Council, the community, schools and businesses – to take action to address the impacts of climate change and work towards a more sustainable future. Business as usual cannot continue, we need transformational change.

While Council has been working for some time to reduce its own emissions and support the community to live more sustainably, it’s time to accelerate our emissions reductions, ramp up the ways we support our community and prepare for changes to our city and community.

To do this, we’re developing a Climate Emergency Action Plan and we want your input. This plan will include actions that Council will take to respond to the climate emergency, as well as the support we will provide for our local community.

By working together to respond to the climate emergency, we can create a sustainable future for all.

You can contribute to the plan by:

• Attending our online forum on Tuesday 16 June, 6pm to 7pm to talk about our progress on developing the plan and seek input and feedback on what we should focus on. The forum will be held over Zoom, register to attend.
  
  
• Sharing your thoughts on the ideas board
  
  
• Completing the online feedback form
  
  
• Answering a quick poll or a quick question (questions may change, so keep an eye out)

You can also ask us a question via email: environment@stonnington.vic.gov.au.

The feedback collected will help in developing a draft action plan. We’ll bring that draft action plan back to you for feedback later in the year.
