What is this toolkit?

This toolkit offers practical recommendations for how local governments (also known as city councils and local councils) can take immediate action to address the climate emergency.

It is written as a resource for local government councillors and community members who want to take meaningful climate action in their community. It will also serve as an excellent resource for council officers looking at implementing a climate emergency response or environmental best-practice in their council. The recommendations outlined in this guide are specific and measurable, with suggested time frames.

This toolkit features information on:

A. Who the decision makers are in local government

B. Key documents that can influence change, and

C. Recommendations to take action.
