Achieving
zero net emissions and a thriving community
The Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance,
comprising 14 local governments, and businesses and community organisations, is
playing a key role in creating sustainable, climate-aware communities and profitable,
climate-friendly economies in our region.
Our
objectives are:
-
To reduce central Victorian greenhouse gas
emissions by 30 per cent below 2000 levels by 2010 and
-
To achieve zero net emissions by 2020
Our
key activities include:
-
Raising
awareness of climate change, its effects and the solutions
-
Initiating,
driving and coordinating projects
-
Facilitating
networks, partnerships and cooperative ventures
-
Sourcing
project funding, information and resources
-
Providing
a forum for discussing opportunities and challenges
Our
region has:
-
Enormous potential for generating and
utilizing renewable energy
-
Committed and innovative communities,
organizations and businesses
According to the CSIRO, a combination of
wind, bioelectricity, solar and geothermal power, in combination with energy
efficiency measures, could supply 100 per cent of central Victoria's energy needs by 2050.
