About MoretonCAN.
The MoretonCAN campaign has evolved with support from individuals, groups and businesses, to put pressure on and work with the Moreton Bay Regional Council (MBRC) to declare a Climate Emergency.
A Climate Emergency Declaration (CED) by the Council is a critical element in responding locally to the climate crisis. The CED would align Moreton Bay with the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Councils, which declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 and 2021 respectively.
The broad actions MoretonCAN wants MBRC to take are:
Declare a climate emergency, and join more than 100 other jurisdictions across Australia that have already done so to stimulate strong climate action.
Set a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions to be achieved by 2030.
Directly engage the community in planning to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet this target.
