"People around the world are taking part in "Moving Planet", a day of grassroots actions to show we're ready to move away from fossil fuels, and it's important that Perth takes part," said event spokesperson Kamala Emanuel.

"As Arctic Sea ice reaches its lowest recorded volume in thousands of years, humanity stands on the edge of the precipice of climate catastrophe and must pull back," Emanuel said.

Safe Climate supports CHOGM protest

Safe Climate Perth endorses the Chogm Action Network protest planned for October 28. The protest is calling for "Justice and climate action not racism and war".

The need for genuine climate action is one of the pressing issues of our time. While previous CHOGM summits have paid lip service to the need for climate action, words have not been matched by deeds.

The leading powers in the Commonwealth - including and especially Australia - are among the biggest greenhouse polluters in the world.

Welcome (or welcome back) after a season of extreme weather events. Our sympathies to all those affected by floods, cyclones, fires and snowstorms. It's a sobering reminder of why we need to be prepared for the climate change we can't prevent - and why we need urgent action to prevent all the devastating changes we still have time to avert.
