Australian local councils – and their communities – are at the forefront of dealing with the impacts of climate change, including fires, drought and floods.

They are also at the forefront of local climate solutions. From putting solar on rooftops and rolling out electric vehicle charging stations, councils are making huge inroads accelerating action on climate change and creating clean, healthy and resilient communities.

To supercharge climate action, the Cities Power Partnership is hosting a Climate Summit for Local Government. Set to bring together over 150 elected officials and chief executives from councils across the country, attendees will have the chance to identify key opportunities, inform practical actions, and inspire innovative climate action.

If you are a mayor, councillor or executive at an Australian local government looking to embed climate action across your council operations, this event is for you.

You’ll hear from inspiring case studies and experts in topics like climate risk, clean transport, resilience, energy transformation, communications, community engagement and more. There will also be ample opportunity to network with council leaders, as well as connect with leading clean energy businesses in our exhibition space.

Hope to see you at our in person event at Storey Hall in Melbourne from September 6-8, 2023.
