The CVGA undertakes a number of formal and informal advocacy on behalf of its member councils and is one of the core benefits of being in an alliance. Typically advocacy targets climate change and energy policy, with a focus on policy implications for local government and their communities. The CVGA often works with partner greenhouse alliances and other organisations to progress advocacy priorities for the region.
Think Stimulus, Think Climate
The CVGA with its partner greenhouse alliances have prepared a prospectus to help advocate for COVID-19 economic stimulus packages that simultaneously address climate change. Click on the image below to read the prospectus.
