Climate Emergency Darebin Advisory Committee

Council is establishing a new organisation called Climate Emergency Darebin (CED) to help the Council to implement the Darebin Climate Emergency Plan.

The Climate Emergency Darebin (CED) Advisory Committee is assisting Council to implement the Darebin Climate Emergency Plan by:

• Collaborating with Council on the climate emergency (both problems and solutions), including on how to engage all levels of government

• Engaging with the community about the climate emergency and how a safe climate can be restored, including through knowledge sharing, capacity building, education and training

• Mobilising and activating the community broadly and deeply around the climate emergency issue, and facilitating community contributions to action, including via volunteerism and donations

• Researching and developing strategy and solutions relating to the climate emergency

• Advising Council on the establishment of the legal structure of Climate Emergency Darebin (CED), anticipated to be a Company limited by guarantee, and on a sustainable funding model for CED, identifying sources of funding

• Developing and/or trialling innovative programs and delivery mechanisms which can be scaled up to achieve significant change.

The advisory committee consists of six community members, two Councillors and the Darebin Council CEO and will continue to meet approximately monthly up to February 2019 to advise in establishing Climate Emergency Darebin.
