Capacity building and resources

Declaring and acting on a climate emergency is not just about reducing emissions faster than usual - it also requires new forms of governance, mobilising our councils and communities and advocating to other levels of government.

Our members are working on finding the most effective forms of governance and action to respond to the climate emergency.

To support them, Climate Emergency Australia:

• hosts and records webinars for councillors and staff 
• runs an online forum for officers to share resources and develop best practice in responding to the climate emergency
• coordinates and records a monthly live discussion forum for officers for peer-to-peer learning and networking.

To find out about becoming a member of CEA and accessing the online and discussion forums please contact us. 

Resources from other organisations:
CEDAMIA: provides an up-to-date list of Australian and international jurisdictions that have declared with links to their motions, media releases and plans, and many more resources. They also post news and great examples of what council's have done after their declarations.
CACE: provides information for both community groups and councils working towards a climate emergency declaration and response and includes campaign toolkits, sample motions, guides and many more resources.
The Local Government Climate Emergency Toolkit is just what it sounds like.
