Free community-led climate action workshop

LOCAL residents looking to help community-led solutions to climate change and act for sustainable living can find options with the Tweed Community Action Network’s (TCAN) upcoming workshop tomorrow, Saturday, October 19.

Tweed Shire Council hosts the free event as part of its commitment to supporting individuals and community groups in reducing our environmental impact and responding to climate change for a sustainable future.

With a focus on place-based solutions, and providing resources and education, the council aims for the forums to empower the community to take action and progress projects.

In the leadup to the Climate Summit on Wednesday, November 20, the workshop is an opportunity to plan energy efficiency and sustainable food and transport projects or contribute new initiatives.

The summit will feature a panel of speakers and will provide the opportunity to vote for, add and contribute to community-led projects to reduce emissions.

The workshop will be held at the Murwillumbah Community Centre in Knox Park from 10.30am to 1pm.

Previous participants will share their progress on action plans, and new attendees can provide feedback and ideas. Registrations are essential and a light lunch will be provided. For information and registration, visit yoursaytweed.com.au/community-action-network.
