Griffith University was contracted by Tweed Shire Council (TSC) under a grant from the Federal Government (Preparing Australian Communities PACL000479), to identify local climate action strategies and support for the Tweed Shire community to reduce their carbon footprint and respond to natural hazards and climate events. The overarching aim for the Tweed Climate Ready project is to provide an evidence base that will support Tweed Shire community interests and capacity to respond to localised climate change risks and impacts. TSC have been internally working on climate action for a number of years, however, this research is the first comprehensive baseline assessment of community perspectives on climate action. This project forms a critical foundation for future action. The project outputs, including this report, will support Council and emergency response agencies when preparing key plans (for example the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Strategy) and inform further collaborative and community-led climate action.
