Queensland Climate Movement Summit
Summit Update
Exactly one month ago, the Queensland Climate Movement Summit was attended by more than 60 activists, thinkers and citizens, with some 30 organisations represented and 26 workshops conducted on building and strengthening the climate movement in Queensland.
To those of you who participated, the event was a success only due to your input and contribution. Many most humble thank-yous for your involvement.
But, of course, the Summit was just the beginning.
As promised, the proceedings from the Summit have been edited, and the Proceedings of the Inaugural Queensland Climate Movement Summit are now available online at:
- http://www.enoughhotair.com
- The proceedings can be downloaded from: http://www.enoughhotair.com/resources/
You'll notice that the summit proceedings are available in both a PDF and in a webpage format. We hope that through the website's comment and forum capabilities, the summit proceedings can become a living document of our evolving strategies and campaigns addressing the climate crisis in Queensland.
One of the desired action steps from the summit was the request for Six Degrees to establish a collaborative web-space, where we can share information, resources and news.
We hope that www.enoughhotair.com will provide us with that webspace - but it needs your input to make it so. Some of the ways that you can contribute are below:
- Read the workshop proceedings from some of the 26 workshops, discussions, forums and skillshares conducted on the day.
- Featured workshops include a history of direct action on coal, the St John's Wood Sustainability group's outreach strategy, a web-based collaboration review and the proposal for the Queensland Climate Safe Coalition. If you attended the workshop, and have further discussion points to add, don't hesitate to leave a comment at the bottom of the page.
- Download the summit proceedings from the resources section of the website. Other resources will be added here as they are recommended.
- Continue the summit discussions at the online forum on the summit webpage. We are trialling this feature of the site, subject to its popularity. The more you post, the more useful the online forum will be.
- Upload your materials from the discussion. Send your workshop notes, photos, recordings or musings from the summit by replying to this email address.
- Make further suggestions. If there's anything else you would like to see on the website, let us know by posting a message here.
Thanks once again for your participation in the Queensland Climate Movement Summit - it was a rich and powerful event. Looking forward to working with you in the coming months to build a resilient and effective climate movement across the state.
In solidarity and hope,
Clare, John, Brad and Shani
on behalf of
