Dear fellow humanitarian,
The climate action group Banyule Climate Action Now (BCAN) (of Melbourne’s City of Banyule that has recently declared a Climate Emergency) unanimously passed the following motions to be transmitted to Members of Parliament, media, climate activists and other concerned citizens:
(1). We support the personal minimization by individuals of the use of fossil fuels, namely coal, gas and oil.
(2). We support the key goals of the Australian School Strike Movement , specifically: “Australian school protesters want the Federal Government to commit to:
No new coal, oil or gas projects
100 per cent renewable energy generation and exports by 2030
Funding for "a just transition and job creation for all fossil-fuel industry workers and communities".
(3). Noting that Australia is among world leaders in 15 areas of climate abuse, climate inaction and pollution , we do not want Australia to become a dumping ground for obsolete and polluting technologies.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya (secretary, Banyule Climate Action Now, Melbourne, Australia).
