Australia’s climate is changing

Gippsland has experienced the impacts of climate change that have posed risks to people, animals, and our beautiful environment. We have suffered extreme weather events including; heatwaves, storms, floods, draughts, and fire events that have threatened communities, agriculture, and industry. Our coastal communities are facing inundation, erosion, and sea level rise.

We must act now to avoid the worst climate change scenarios predicted.  We can adapt the way we live. We can make a difference.

Understanding Climate Change – Department of Climate Change, Energy the Environment and Water (Aus Gov)

GCCN advocated for and fully supports the declaration of the Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone and the Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone, the first declared in Australia.

Gippsland New Energy – The future of new energy is here
Gippsland is at the forefront of the renewable energy transformation and GCCN is proud to be the auspice organisation for the Gippsland New Energy Web Portal that brings together easy to understand information about types of renewable energy technologies and the location of proposed infrastructure developments in Gippsland.
