Join us for an evening of optimism, positive tales and making connections. A chance to celebrate what is working rather than what’s not and to showcase practical ways you can take action on climate change.

Be inspired and entertained by our great line up of guest speakers including
– Tejopala Rawls with some climate change comedy (yes, it’s a thing!)
– Luke Barbagallo of Pollinate Energy with a tale of how ordinary Melbournians are bringing sustainable energy to communities across India
– Linh Do from The Climate Reality Project Australia – Al Gore’s program to amplify action on climate change with an update on what’s happening and how you can get involved

Your MC for the evening is Ailsa Lamont from Pomegranate Global.
