ACTION:12 noon Tuesday 16 December at Wesley Church

Corner of Hay and William Streets, Perth

We will not surrender on climate change!
It is widely reported that the targets Minister Wong will announce on Monday will be a reduction of greenhouse emissions by between 5-15% of 2000 levels by 2020 – nowhere near enough to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Australia must head for zero net carbon as soon as we can – and no later than 2050 – with reductions of at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 on the way through. The global negotiating range for rich countries like Australia is 25-40%.
In the Senate, the Greens will move to fix the Government’s targets to make them more credible.

Take Action in Perth on Tuesday morning

Acting just a little bit is not an option
If we breach tipping points in our climate, we will set in train runaway climate change that no human action can stop. We must do whatever we can to prevent that nightmare from becoming a reality.
The stakes are so high, there can be no white flag of surrender on climate change.
