State Parliament has backed an amended Energy Security motion calling for a transition away from fossil fuels, and we are urging supporters to contact local MPs to ensure these and the Climate Change Act recommendations are fully implemented. We are also gathering at Parliament House on 26 May to demand the government scrap the controversial Development Assessment Panels (DAPs) Bill. Additionally, former Young Australian of the Year Adam Mostogl will join our next online general meeting on 25 May to discuss Unleash Lutriwita and sustainable development goals for island communities.

We have launched our first-ever anonymous supporter survey to gather feedback and help make our collective work more effective across lutruwita/Tasmania. At our next online meeting on April 27th, guest speaker Skye Cielita Flor from Deep Earth Dreaming will guide us through the concepts of experiential deep ecology. We are also calling on supporters to contact local MPs to oppose the Development Assessment Panels (DAPs) Bill and demand the full implementation of the Climate Change Act review recommendations.

Recent recommendations from the Independent Review of Tasmania’s Climate Change Act have backed our key calls for an Independent Climate Change Body and a separate adaptation process. To ensure the government implements these changes, we are asking supporters to write to their local MPs and to join our online meeting on March 30th with UTAS researcher Lennart Bach. You can also take action this month by supporting campaigns to protect the Dial Range from logging and demanding that big polluters pay for climate damage.

We have teamed up with 13 organisations to launch a joint campaign demanding Parliament strengthen Tasmania's Climate Change Act during its current legislative review. To help push for these critical reforms, we are urging supporters to sign our open letter to MPs, contact local members, and join our letter-writing workshop on 18th February. Melissa Packham from Wild Built will also join our next online general meeting on 23rd February to discuss how climate literacy serves as a critical lever for action.

Our collective was represented by Donnacha from Clarence Climate Action at the recent Climate Crisis Summit in Canberra. As we await the next steps for Tasmania's Climate Change Act, we are encouraging submissions to the federal environment law reform inquiry by 5 December. We also invite everyone to our next online meeting on Monday 24 November to hear guest speaker Anna-Zoë Herr discuss finding hope and wonder in a burning world.
