Launch of Darebin’s Climate Emergency Plan 2024-30

Published on 29 July 2024

Darebin is a leader in climate action, having been the first in the world to declare a climate emergency. In our new Climate Emergency Plan, we step up our efforts to reduce emissions, while keeping our community safe and helping our city thrive.

Following extensive community consultation with more than 1,500 members of the Darebin community, climate experts, Traditional Owners and Custodians and Council advisory groups, we’re proud to release Darebin’s new Climate Emergency Plan 2024-30.

In our consultations we heard the strong message that Darebin residents want urgent action on climate change as well as support for those most impacted by the ongoing climate crisis. This Plan delivers.

There are four core pillars: Caring for Country, Towards Zero Emissions Darebin, Community Resilience, and Innovation and Leadership. Each pillar has corresponding goals and actions to guide Darebin’s response until 2030 to reduce emissions, keep our community safe and help our city thrive.
