RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE
The aim of the relay is to mobilize as many people as possible at the local level to press for immediate, effective action on climate change.
In a related action the Make Poverty History coalition has released a response to the initial draft of the Garnaut Report - the most comprehensive Australian review of the climate change issue and one which contains important recommendations for the Australian Government.
The full text of the response is available on the above website along with a free Climate Change Action Kit which contains stickers, posters, a petition, media and letter writing guides and a 15 minute DVD that sums up the climate crisis facing Australia’s neighbours in the developing world.
