SEE-Change is presenting a series of talks at Floriade this year and everyone is welcome. All talks will be presented at Floriade's ActewAGL Look 'n' Learn Marquee from 20-23rd September. For more information see our poster and event summary.

Congratulations to everyone who helped to make the Canberra Loves 40% campaign a huge success. Sustained effort over many months made the difference, and now the ACT can show how well we can rise to that big challenge.

At a time when the formal government processes seem stalled, the ACT has made a real step forward.

Today Canberra, tomorrow the future.

The ACT Labor Government will set targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2020, and 80% by 2050, based on 1990 levels, Minister for the Environment Climate Change and Water, Simon Corbell, announced today. Read the media release.

Congratulations to Canberra Loves 40% and all those supporting the campaign.

SEE-Change Inner South has developed and submitted their thoughtful review on the draft variation 301 to the Territory Plan. Their next challenge is to pull together comments on draft variation 303. Both draft variations will set the tone for future development in Canberra and we are grateful and comforted that Inner South is dedicating their time and skills to helping ensure the ACT Government is adequately addressing sustainability issues. 

The Woden SEE Change committee wrote to the ACT Government today on behalf of the Woden community to show its support for a 40% greenhouse emissions reduction target.

The SEE-Change Annual Review Day held on Saturday the 31st July 2010 was a huge success! Thankyou to all who participated for your valuable input and dedication.

A big thankyou also goes out to Barbara Pamphilon and Barbara Chevalier for kindly facilitating the day! A one page summary of the day and a more detailed summary are now available for viewing.

 There is a growing awareness of the benefits of community gardens and farmers’ markets. They both contribute to community building, sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.  Fresh locally grown produce has benefits for our health and our environment. 

The walk on warming didn't have the benefit of a sunny day, and the words from the speakers wouldn't exactly warm your heart - they reminded us that the need to connect the dots on climate change is growing ever more urgent.
