Climate scientists like NASA’s James Hansen have given the planet a five year window to make serious carbon cuts if we are going to avoid crossing dangerous climate tipping points.
Coal is a massive contributor to Australian and global carbon emissions.
Communities need green jobs and green industry alternatives to coal mining.
We need to work with coal communities to phase out coal for a safe climate.

Who:
Anyone and everyone is welcome! Students, parents, activists, workers, grandparents – anyone who is worried about climate change, and wants to find out more from communities on the ground about how we can work together to make a fair and fast transition to renewables in NSW.
The tour is being organised by an alliance of different groups and individuals in Newcastle. But you don’t have to be from Newcastle to help out or come along!
