Communities

Find out how you can take climate action as a community and contribute to the collective work to reduce emissions, build climate resilience, and protect our environment and lifestyle

Through work to reduce emissions, we can create new jobs and industries, along with helping our communities be more resilient and capable of responding to the impacts of climate change.

Our regions are extremely diverse, which is why the Queensland Government is taking a place-based approach to helping communities. This includes partnering with councils and local organisations to develop regional climate adaptation solutions and making sure that a changing climate is factored into planning and development decisions.

Communities and community groups have an important role to play in taking climate action, as part of the collective work to reduce emissions, build resilience to natural disasters, and protect our environment and lifestyle under a changing climate.

Climate action for your community

Here are some examples of ways to take climate action as a community:

Do you have a story to share?

We would love to hear about how Queenslanders are taking climate action in their own home, community or business.

Send your climate action story to climatechange@des.qld.gov.au and your project may be profiled on the Queensland Climate Action website.

Grants of up to $50,000 are available for community groups and organisations that want to reduce emissions, build resilience, and adapt to climate change impacts.
