"To successfully adapt to and reduce the impacts of climate change requires innovation and creativity and a partnership between the state government, local governments, business and communities. "The Victorian Government’s objective is a truly sustainable response: creating economic opportunity; adopting new approaches to supporting vibrant and resilient communities and households; and managing and adapting to the impacts of climate change on our shared natural assets. "I am confident that the Victorian Government’s support of forums such as the World Wide Views on Global Warming significantly contributes to shaping the way we successfully manage climate change impacts in our local and global environment |

"Adapting to climate change will affect every one of us in different ways. NAB has joined the international business community and signed the Copenhagen Communique, which calls for a strong and equitable global approach to climate change. "This Communique will be tabled at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. "Creating opportunities for everyday Australians to be heard at this conference is important, and it's why we're supporting World Wide Views on Global Warming. In preparation for Copenhagen, World Wide Views will bring Australians together to discuss and vote on what matters to them, and ensure they have a voice at the table in December." |
Greg BourneCEO, WWF-Australia |
"Through WWF's Earth Hour, Australians led the world in a call for action on climate change. Now in the lead up to Copenhagen, World Wide Views on Global Warming gives ordinary Australian citizens another voice on climate change - both nationally and internationally.
