Support the call for action on climate change

Mayors of fire-stricken areas have signed a statement calling on the Australian Government to acknowledge the link between climate change and the catastrophic fire conditions. 

We must recognise the spiralling costs of climate change to our communities and act now to protect those on the front line. 

Dear Federal Government,

The recent fires in Australia have put hundreds of thousands of people in great danger.

The catastrophic conditions for these fires were, at least in part, fuelled by climate change.

This is having grave costs for our community that can no longer be ignored.

Now is not the time for blame. Now is the time for leadership, and keeping all Australians safe.

Now, it is time to honestly and bravely address one of the major causes of these fires, climate change.
