We’re taking a research-based approach to identify the actions Council can take to reduce emissions and meet our net zero targets for Council operations and the City of Wollongong.
Council is reviewing the Climate Change Mitigation Plan 2020-2022, to make sure it’s a current and responsive document that focuses on new data and opportunities. As a part of this work, we’re interested in learning what our community are already doing to reduce their emissions and how Council can provide support to community members in their efforts to further reduce emissions.
From now until 15 December 2022, community members will be able to share their thoughts by completing the Climate Change survey and participating in one of our engagement events.
It’s all part of Wollongong City Council’s goal to support our community to reduce their emissions and contribute to making Wollongong a climate friendly city. We know that we need our community’s full support to make this vision a reality, and we are seeking community feedback on a range of topics such as:
- Identifying the priority actions from a list of emission reduction options
- Understanding what our community may already be doing to reduce their impact on climate change
- Recognising the challenges we face in reducing emissions
- Identifying how Council can best support our community to make changes.
Have lots of ideas you’d like to share? You can get involved by completing the online survey on the Our Wollongong website or by attending a community event. Stay tuned as we’ll be sharing event information soon on Council’s Facebook page and our website.
We’ve chosen to start these discussions during Global Climate Change Week – an international project that seeks to encourage communities to get involved in planet-positive actions and solutions.
