Moreland Council adopt a Zero Carbon Moreland target by 2030

Petitions express opinions. Disagreeing with a petition, or thinking it is pointless, is not grounds for a report, and such reports are closed automatically. Report a petition only if it breaks the law or our Community Guidelines, for example hate speech, defamation of a person or organisation, publishing private information, or fraud. We do not check whether the claims in a petition are true; the author is responsible for them.

This report goes to the people who run this website, not to the petition author or to any authority. If you have a question or feedback for the author, send them a message.

Petitions express opinions. Disagreeing with a petition, or thinking it is pointless, is not grounds for a report, and we do not remove petitions because people oppose them.

If you send this, your disagreement is recorded and the report is closed automatically with no action; the decision is sent to your email address. If the content breaks the law or our Community Guidelines, choose that option above instead.

You can also start your own petition or contact the author.

Is the false claim about you, your organisation, or another identifiable person or organisation?

Which passage is false? You can click several sentences in the petition text, and tell us for each what is true. This is optional.

Moreland Council adopt a Zero Carbon Moreland target by 2030

In September 2018, Moreland City Council unanimously declared a climate emergency – recognising the threat that the climate crisis poses to our health, safety and livelihoods.

And, right now, Council has a target of zero carbon emissions across our community by 2040.

But scientists have warned that now is the time to act: what governments, businesses and communities do between now and 2030 will determine whether we limit potential climate catastrophe.

With the Federal government being left behind the rest of the world on climate action and the Victorian government refusing to transition away from coal any time soon, Moreland Council has the opportunity to lead action on the climate emergency.

Will you sign the petition calling on Moreland City Council to adopt a Zero Carbon Moreland target by 2030?

Current scientific evidence indicates:

Global fossil CO2 emissions rose 62% between 1990 and 2019.

The average global temperature for 2016–2020 is expected to be the warmest on record, about 1.1 °C above 1850-1900

To limit global warming to 1.5°C the world needs to reduce emissions by 7.6% every year from 2020-2030.

The ocean has absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system.

Arctic summer sea-ice extent has declined at a rate of approximately 12% per decade during 1979-2018.
