We’re celebrating 10 years of enabling climate action, elevating frontline voices, and supporting Pacific communities build resilience. Com join us and celebrate our 10th Birthday on February 19th at Fringe Common Rooms in Carlton.
In the last 10 years, hundreds of people and organisations have been part of our journey towards supporting frontline communities and amplifying their voices for climate justice. We couldn’t have done it without all of the wonderful volunteers, donors, supporters, partners and friends of Climates and we want to celebrate this milestone with old and new friends.
Join us to celebrate with live music, Pacifika performances, inspiring climate stories, food and drinks and a chance to connect with a long-standing community, celebratory vibes and a good time.
