Climate Change Action

Weathering the weather.

Reducing risk. Building resilience.

Introduction

The City of Kalamunda acknowledges that human behaviours, pollution and consumption patterns have both immediate and future impacts on the climate and environment, and that as a Local Government it is part of our role to mitigate and manage these impacts on our community.

The City of Kalamunda is actively pursuing a Climate Change Action Plan to address risk to the environment, economy, infrastructure, and community health, safety and wellbeing in the City of Kalamunda, brought on by Climate Change.

Climate change is having local impacts upon our community notably in matters of extreme weather events, a drying climate and its impacts upon water supply and vegetation and an overall increase in average temperatures which impact the very young and our elderly.

Climate Change is a global threat. Local Government is committed to meeting international obligations through Australia’s participation in protocols and agreements established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including but not limited to the Paris Agreement and successive international treaties.

Background

On 10 August 2021, The City of Kalamunda joined other Western Australian Local Governments by signing the WALGA Climate Change Declaration.

See the Q&A Tab for more about the Declaration.

Climate Change Action Plan

The City is seeking feedback to understand the community’s position on Climate Change and to identify actions needed to address risk to your environment, economy, infrastructure, and community health, safety and well being.
