We are coordinating a range of activities and communications in the lead up to 5 December 2026 - the 10th anniversary of the world’s first Climate Emergency Declaration. The aim of the Ten Years Project is to reinvigorate enthusiasm for climate emergency action at the local government level, both within councils and in the broader community and to celebrate Australia’s pioneering role.

Or maybe you'd like to hold a community event - or incorporate a celebration of the 10th anniversary into an existing event? Find out more.
