Local Action for a Low Carbon FutureDiscussion Paper 2012 This discussion paper was prepared by Hazel Storey, Associate of the UTS Centre of Local Government with Martin Brennan, CEO and Regional Director, ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability Oceania, Cheryl Thomas, Executive Director of the Council of Capital City Lord Mayors (CCCLM) and Stefanie Pillora, Program Manager Research at the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government (ACELG). This discussion paper considers the questions: What are the strengths of the local government sector for a low carbon future and how can these complement national initiatives for a low carbon economy? How can local governments and the national government work more effectively as partners to achieve mutual goals for a clean energy, low carbon future? The idea for the paper emerged from the 2011 Local Government Climate Change Round Table coordinated by ACELG and the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF), and attended by all local governmental associations and by leading councils and academics from around Australia. For a copy of the paper please contact Martin Brennan martin.brennan@iclei.org Preparing for Tomorrow Strategy 2012 - 2015 (Belo Horizonte Plan)An ambitious agenda preparing cities for tomorrow Strategic Plan with a six-year scope.

Local Government Climate Change Adaptation ToolkitAdaptation is not just about the risks to be endured due to climate variability. As the climate is changing so too is the operating environment for councils. Council decision-making processes need to support and strengthen the capacity of staff to identify inherent opportunities that arise from change, as well as the risks. To download the toolkit and read more on how to use it see the Local Government Climate Change Adaptation Toolkit webpage. CCP Measures ReportsEach year all councils past Milestone 3 in the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Australia Program are invited to report their success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Since 1997, CCP councils have reported a saving of 18 million tonnes of greenhouse gas.
More CCP reports are available from the CCP Australia website. Water Campaign™ Actions ReportThe Inaugural Water Campaign™ Actions Report 2008 sets the scene on water conservation and water quality management for 2007/08. We hope it inspires local governments across Australia to become more involved in saving water and safeguarding its quality.
Water Campaign™ Actions ProfileThe featured actions demonstrate some of the tangible contributions local governments are making to water resource management: from innovative irrigation approaches and mains water substitution, to using Water Sensitive Urban Design devices for water quality protection and working with their communities.
