Climate Action Newcastle (CAN) is a committed group of local residents from all backgrounds working together to address the single biggest issue facing humanity: climate change. We are a community based non-party-political group of volunteers who recognise that the world faces a crisis. Climate change is a global emergency. The urgency to act simply cannot be understated. CAN is here for people of all walks of life to be a part of the solution.

Your input and involvement in creating a low emissions future is vital to the future of our region and the planet. Please join CAN on our common path towards a truly sustainable future. CAN meets every first and third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM at the Joy Cummings Centre on the Corner of Scott and Pacific Streets, Newcastle.
