Climate change lobbying

Are you concerned about climate change? Are you trying to lobby decision makers (politicians, local councilors, public servants)? Are you having a hard time knowing who to call or what is the most effective way to lobby?

The Conservation Council WA will be holding four free workshops to improve your lobbying skills for climate change action.

Workshops on Climate Change will be held by Giz Watson MLC and Lynn MacLaren MLC:
