Walk Against Warming 2008 comes at a critical point, when governments around the world are deciding how they will respond to the climate crisis. In Australia, the Walk falls right when Federal Cabinet are deciding on Australia’s emissions target for 2020 and just before the crucial international climate talks in Poland. The community’s voice has never been more important to demand strong, urgent action from our government and justice for developing nations affected by global warming.

Climate Action Groups and communities will come out in thousands across the country this weekend for Australia’s biggest day of action on climate change. In Sydney, participants in the Walk Against Warming will have the opportunity to ‘meet and greet’ Climate Action Groups from their area and will be given the tools to kick-start new community climate groups where none exist already.
