Make Polluters Pay Melbourne - Climate Justice Coalition event

Since launching the campaign calling for a national Climate Compensation Fund communities across the continent have stepped up to make big polluters pay their fair share.

Hundreds of people have joined the campaign, 5 councils have passed motions calling for Polluters to Pay and we're making media headlines!

Communities and organisations are now finding different ways to make this campaign work for them, because we all see a big opportunity for this campaign to shift the politics of fossil fuels in this country.

To build on this momentum we’re coming together for a one-day planning session, specifically designed for organisers across Victoria to build skills, share lessons, and grow the campaign to win a Climate Compensation Fund - paid for by big polluters, not communities.

Join us in Melbourne/Naarm to:

  • connect and plan with others across Victoria working on the polluter pays campaign

  • Troubleshoot your local campaign strategies and get advice on how to build more power

  • map our plans together between now and the end of the year
