The Climate Reality
The climate crisis may feel daunting, but we can do something about it. We’ve proven we know how to make an impact and people are winning on a range of environmental issues in their communities around the world.
Lobbying by YCAN was influential in the City of Yarra’s declaration of a Climate Emergency in 2017 and the formulation of its first Climate Emergency Plan in 2020. Our actions can make a difference locally and globally.
Support and strengthen City of Yarra's climate and environmental action.
Build community awareness and involvement in climate and environmental action and broaden our engagement in Yarra.
Advocate more broadly, by lobbying Victorian and Federal Governments to take effective climate and environmental action. No new coal and gas, no nuclear power, and a fast transition to clean renewables.
