Did you know this week is Global Climate Change Week?
This year's theme is Climate, Health, Action – and is focusing on the impact of our changing climate on human and environmental health.
Here at Central Goldfields, to celebrate, we wanted to share the partnerships and initiatives we're involved with and supporting, as we play our part in responding to climate change:
CLIMATE ACTION COLLABORATION
In July, Council launched the Central Goldfields Climate Action Collaboration – in partnership with the Maryborough Climate Action Group, Goldfields Sustainability Group and Maryborough Education Centre.
The group is made up of 20 individuals from across the community to lead the development of a local response to climate change.
The group is dedicated to bringing climate change into the everyday conversation, creating space for everyone to be heard and engaging all in the exploration of the climate action opportunities for our Shire.
