Community Action Network

Tweed Shire Council is facilitating a Community Action Network to support individuals and community groups in positive steps towards climate action. With a focus on place-based solutions, enabling existing community groups and providing resources and education, Council would like the forums to empower individuals and groups to take action and progress projects.

At each forum, we ask the questions:

1. What can I do to take action? (What resources, skills, time or passions can I contribute?)
2. What groups already exist responding to this issue?
3. What project/s can we progress and what support will make it happen?

Our forum topics are based on the intersection between impact and interest:

• What topics impact climate change and reduce our emissions?
• What topics are community members most passionate about?

The Community Action Network followed an in-depth research and engagement project with Griffith University's Climate Action Beacon, Climate Ready Tweed.
