NSW Mayors' Agreement on Climate Change
Participate in the NSW Mayors' Agreement on Climate Change.
The Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW established the NSW Mayors' Agreement on Climate Change following a motion by Waverley Council, passed unanimously at the Local Government Association Conference in 2007.
Councils across NSW can show their commitment to this important issue by signing the NSW Mayors' Agreement on Climate Change. By signing the agreement, Mayors will agree to meet or beat greenhouse reduction targets assigned to Australia by the Kyoto Protocol or go further and adopt a more ambitious target (such as a 30% reduction or more) for greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
Twenty-three councils have signed the Mayors' Agreement.
