The annual Victorian Greenhouse Alliances Conference is the highest profile local government climate change conference in Australia.
It brings together Victorian local government councillors, executive leaders and officers, working on and interested in climate change projects and advocacy. Victorian councils started working together to form Greenhouse Alliances over 20 years ago, and they have been leading on climate action ever since.
The most recent conference was held on 4 August 2023. The Victorian Greenhouse Alliances once again partnered with the Council Alliance for a Sustainable Built Environment (CASBE), with support from the Victorian Government's Supporting Our Regions to Adapt program and Sustainability Victoria.
The VGA Conference has traditionally been held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, and highlights government action on climate change. The event provides a unique forum for sharing ideas, reflecting on projects and encouraging collaboration across the sector and beyond. Topics include everything from getting off gas, to rural and regional industry transitions, tackling business emissions, carbon offsetting, land use planning, embedding climate change in council planning, the cost of adaptation and the intersections of climate and health, and much more.
You can download the presentations from 2022 and 2023 by navigating to the relevant session in the respective online programs.
The VGA Conference is targeted at local government. Planning for the 2024 event will commence towards the end of 2023. If you you would like to be involved, or would like to receive details about VGAC 2024, please contact your Greenhouse Alliance Executive Officer or Steve Turnock at NAGA - steve@naga.org.au
