Here in Australia and all over the world, it’s local governments and communities that are leading the switch to clean energy. Our communities are full of local heroes who are busy getting on with the job. Town by town, city by city, these Australians are tackling climate change and transforming Australia’s energy future from the ground up. It’s truly inspiring stuff.
The Cities Power Partnership is a free national program that exists to celebrate and accelerate the emission reduction and clean energy successes of Australian towns and cities. It’s a coalition of the willing – made up of mayors, councillors and communities who are committed to a sustainable, non-polluting energy future.
Local councils who join the partnership pledge to take 5 key actions across renewable energy, efficiency, transport and working together. There are dozens of actions: whether it’s putting solar on the local library, switching to electric buses, or opening up old landfills for new solar farms. The possibilities are endless!
You can nominate Armidale to become a Power Partner because it isn’t one yet.
