Action.

All Welcome.

The Climate Restoration Coalition is a group that has two main purposes:

1. To create a coalition of individuals and groups supporting climate change
initiatives, actions, events and education in the ACT; and

2. To provide an opportunity for individuals to undertake activities as part
of the Climate Restoration Coalition.

The Climate Restoration Coalition has also adopted a vision and a mission
statement based on the UK’s Climate Chaos campaign

Vision
A world in which human-induced climate change is capped at a level that will
allow all of humanity and natural ecosystems to prosper, by means that
promote global, social, environmental and economic justice.

Mission Statement
To build a massive coalition, that will create an irresistible public
mandate for political action to stop further human-induced climate change.
