“There is no doubt in my mind that this is the greatest problem confronting mankind at this time and that it has reached the level of a state of emergency.” - Governor of Victoria, Professor David de Kretser, 17 July 2008. Climate Emergency Network was established in February 2008 in response to, and in support of the publication of Climate Code Red: the case for emergency action by David Spratt and Philip Sutton.

Our Vision

We face a climate emergency. Our vision is to work together at emergency speed to restore in a just way a safe climate in time for all people, all species and all generations.

Our 2009 Campaign objectives

• To prevent the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) from becoming law.
• Build community-wide action to demand green jobs, a just transition and 100% renewable energy by 2020.
• To build community support for a goal of stabilisation at 300ppm CO2 and strong international agreement in line with what science and global justice demands. To communicate this position to Copenhagen Conference of Parties, and advocate for the Australian government to adopt that position.
