Global Climate Change Action

In the past 24 months, citizens’ Climate Action groups have mushroomed all over the nation, from coast to coast. Now 60 Climate Action Groups with hundreds of members and thousands of supporters have endorsed a Joint Declaration...

Here it is:

Dear Mr. Howard and Mr. Rudd

A joint declaration from the citizens' Climate Action groups of Australia

We are writing to both of you as one voice from the abundant citizens' climate change action groups that have formed across Australia. The existence of our many groups is the result of mounting anxiety in the population about the lack of effective action delivered so far on reducing our nation's greenhouse gas emissions, and the disappointing policies on offer from both of your parties at this critical time.

Our members are drawn from the spectrum of this country's people, from urban, rural and regional areas. They include small and large business operators and directors, parents, students, grandparents, farmers, migrants, and public service and other employees. Diverse and often dissimilar, we all share a common wish to see far more effective measures undertaken by our leaders to avert the dangerous climate change that scientists across the
globe predict.
