Darebin Council Climate Emergency Strategy Submission

Your Community Health welcomes the opportunity to contribute to Darebin Council’s Climate Emergency Strategy and commends the Council’s proactive approach and commitment to climate action. 

We are witnessing the serious consequences climate change has on the health and wellbeing of our local community, and poses an increased threat to people that already experience health and social inequities.

Without immediate action from all levels of government, organisations and communities, these impacts will continue to worsen.

We understand our own responsibility to minimise our carbon footprint and demonstrate leadership in climate action. Within YourCH’s submission we outline our own commitments and offer a list of recommendations to be incorporated into Darebin’s Climate Emergency Strategy. We look forward to future collaboration on this important issue.
