Welcome to Yarra Climate Action Now!

YCAN is a grassroots community group based in inner-city Melbourne made up of individuals who are concerned about climate change. We are pushing for the urgent worldwide action needed to avoid runaway climate change and the associated impacts.

We are interested in the possibility of making a difference in the community through education, lobbying, workshops and other activities. We are part of the Climate Emergency Network and a national network of grassroots climate action groups. This site will be a place for us to talk about climate change issues, exchange ideas, link to information and hopefully open a world of possibilities.

Please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions - community input is always appreciated! You can email us at YarraCAN@gmail.com if you would like to: 

  • know more about YCAN or join our announcements list
  • learn more about climate change issues and solutions
  • get involved in events (in a small or large way)
  • gain or share some knowledge or skills
  • check out our general meetings (second Wednesday evening of the month in Fitzroy)
Note: This groupsite is free and easy to use, as is our separate blog and wiki . . . .
