Greater Bendigo Climate Collaboration

The Greater Bendigo Climate Collaboration is working towards a zero emissions future as soon as possible.

About the Greater Bendigo Climate Collaboration

The Collaboration was formed in 2021, with 12 partner organisations committing to three years of climate engagement and action. Since then, the Collaboration has begun to put our city on the path to zero emissions. We have strengthened each

partner organisation’s commitment to emissions reduction, moved the public conversation towards climate action and created our Greater Bendigo 2030 Zero Emissions Roadmap with 35 actions to implement by 2030. Our Roadmap, together with the Loddon Mallee Zero Emissions Roadmap, creates a collaborative pathway to a zero emissions future that is equitable and good for our local and regional economy.
