The Transition Decade

The Transition Decade is a non-partisan shared campaign which is coordinated by an alliance of Australian community, social, and environmental groups, non-profits and NGOs.

[2] Speakers included; Rob Gell (Master of Ceremonies), Governor of Victoria Professor David De Kretser, Uncle Bob Randall (Yankunytjatjara elder and traditional owner of Uluru), Cam Walker (Friends of the Earth), Professor Rob Adams (Director Design & Urban Environment City of Melbourne), Professor Will Steffen (Executive Director of the ANU Climate Institute), Senator Christine Milne (Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens), Kelly O'Shanassy (Chief Executive Environment Victoria), Giselle Wilkinson (President of the Sustainable Living Foundation), Philip Sutton (Convener of The Climate Emergency Network), and Mark Ogge (Beyond Zero Emissions).

A growing alliance of climate focused individuals and organisations will generate a level of social approval throughout communities across Australia of the Transition Decade goals.

When a significant proportion of the community accepts the climate emergency, we can build the political will to enable governments and business to respond to the shared goals of the Transition Decade.

Our political leaders need to hear a clear message from the community that we must invest in policies and projects to achieve a social and structural transition.
