Climate Emergency Declaration

LOCAL LEADERSHIP

Climate Emergency Declaration

In November 2019 Mosman Council voted to declare a Climate Emergency, stating that climate change poses a serious risk and should be treated as an emergency.

At the time Mosman Mayor Carolyn Corrigan said:

Cities Power Partnership

Council is a member of the Cities Power Partnership, a network of local government areas that have pledged to reduce emissions through specific actions. Being part of this network forms an integral part of Council’s ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions and protecting Mosman’s unique natural environment for current and future generations.

This declaration is in keeping with Mosman’s longstanding commitment to reducing its impact on the environment, and educating our community about living more sustainably. We join with and support other Councils and Local Government NSW in calling on state and federal governments to take urgent action to at least meet the Paris Agreement emissions reduction targets.
