Our climate is changing, and the global scientific community has shown that human activity has contributed. Victoria can expect a hotter, drier and more extreme climate now and in future.
The Victorian Government is responding by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for further changes to our climate.
We all need to join together to realise the best and prevent the worst impacts of climate change, and to prepare our communities, businesses and environment for those that cannot be avoided.

Climate Communities:

Climate Communities is a $23 million Victorian Government program to promote and support local community initiatives that reduce emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The program will help communities with expert advice, research and information, and grants for local initiatives.
