Safe Climate Australia launched

I’m writing to introduce you to a significant climate project a team of us have developed over the past six months.

Today [7 June 2009] we announced the formation of Safe Climate Australia – a not-for-profit group dedicated to planning the transition to a zero-carbon economy.

Safe Climate Australia has been formed by a group of concerned climate scientists, community and business leaders with a shared understanding of the need for emergency action to restore a safe climate.

Safe Climate Australia will be officially launched at an event for 1000 invited guests in Melbourne on July 13, with a keynote speech from Nobel Prize winner, Al Gore.

I’ve attached links to a story in today’s Sunday Age, and website.

Safe Climate Australia is aiming to deepen community understanding about both the scientific imperatives that demand action at great speed, and about how we can plan the rapid transition to a zero-carbon economy.

We would like as many people as possible to understand the need for action and to become part of the solution, so please feel free to disseminate this note to people and organisations who you think will find it of interest.

Kind regards
