Louncil Council Impacts
The Climate Centre we recognise the vital role local government areas (LGAs) play in driving climate and energy action at the grassroots level. Our research is designed to support LGAs with data-driven insights that inform practical, locally tailored solutions—from solar energy planning to workforce development. Engaging with local communities is central to our work, as they are not only at the frontline of climate impacts but also key to creating meaningful, lasting change. By collaborating with councils, residents, and regional organisations, we aim to empower communities with the knowledge and tools they need to shape a sustainable future that reflects their unique needs and strengths.
To achieve this we collect data through our Local Council Climate Impact Survey (LCCIS). This survey is vital for understanding how to better help LGAs and address local issues.
We also include assessments relating to LGAs as part of our Australian Climate Update (ACU). You can read more about this initiative here
