Our Board and team
Climate for Change is powered by a small but mighty staff team, and a dedicated group of volunteers. Together, we’re empowering everyday Australians to participate in democratic dialogue and advocate for effective climate action.
Our Board
In 2023, Climate for Change underwent significant organisational transformation to being entirely volunteer-powered. Toward the end of 2024, Climate for Change welcomed back a small team of staff who are led by our committed operational Board.
Our Board Members continue this important work voluntarily because they are passionate about Climate for Change and the important role we play in the climate movement. During this ‘critical decade’ the work in creating the climate for change is more important than ever. We’d love you to join us!

~~ UPDATE on MP lobbying blitz for the Safeguard Mechanism ~~ How to run a successful local MPEG ~~
Hello MPEG hosts and supporters,
I hope you’re doing well and getting into the swing of this year. There’s plenty of government action to commend and inaction to be working on. And our local MPEGs have been taking up the challenge with MP meetings and actions galore!Subscribe to the MPEG News Update

~~ Changes to our MPEGs program ~~ Update on recent MP lobbying blitz ~~ Keep in touch with the MPEG community ~~
Dear MPEG leaders and supporters,
I hope you are all well and keeping warm as the days grow shorter. By now you have most likely heard about the changes happening at C4C, as we transition to a community-led organisation with no permanent paid staff.

~~ The Safeguard Mechanism ~~ MP lobbying blitz ~~ Zoom MPEGs in 2023 ~~ How to run a successful local MPEG ~~
Hello and happy new year, MPEGs community!
I hope you have been resting and connecting with nature over the summer.
We have another big year of action on climate ahead of us, and I feel like we are on the cusp of some positive changes — if we keep up the pressure and battle the greenwash. Let’s get stuck in!
