The Climate Movement
The Climate Movement
A broad-based climate movement is evolving in Queensland and around Australia. In addition to the work done by the traditional non-governmental organisations (NGOs), there is a burgeoning grassroots climate movement in Queensland. Local climate action groups (CAGs), student activists and transition town advocates are working to address root causes of climate change, build alternatives and change individual habits.
Six Degrees & the Climate Movement
Six Degrees has been actively involved in both the Queensland and national climate movement, attending Australia’s Grassroots Climate Summit in Canberra in February 2009 and organising the Queensland Grassroots Climate Summit in October of 2008. We believe that collaboration between diverse groups and building the climate movement are important parts of meeting the challenges that climate change poses to us. We also see strategic thinking as important in creating effectiveand lasting changes to our world.
Volunteer with Six Degrees
We are actively seeking people to work on a number of different activities and projects within Six Degrees. We need people to undertake research and report writing, film editing, media monitoring, community network development and more. Any and all levels of experience and skill are welcome.
