Climate Action Summit, Canberra, Australia, 2009: 100% renewable energy by 2020

The Climate Action Summit, 31 January- 3 February 2009, Canberra, ACT, Australia, involved 500 people from over 140 climate action groups (see: http://www.climatesummit.org.au/ ).

The Climate Action Summit, Canberra, Australia, 2009, overwhelmingly resolved ”1. To prevent the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) from becoming law. 2. Build community-wide action to demand green jobs, a just transition and 100% renewable energy by 2020. 3. To build community support for a goal of stabilisation at 300ppm CO2 and strong international agreement in line with what science and global justice demands. To communicate this position to Copenhagen Conference of Parties, and advocate for the Australian government to adopt that position.” [1].
