Kai Harrison from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and Tomorrow Movement is speaking at our next online meeting on Monday 27th May to share strategies for welcoming newcomers to climate action. We are also highlighting key upcoming events, including a book launch in Burnie on climate adaptation by Professor Clive Hamilton and a public talk on forest protection by Professor David Lindenmayer. Additionally, we welcome Queensland's rejection of Glencore's carbon capture proposal to safeguard the Great Artesian Basin.

Our next online general meeting will take place on Monday 29th April to discuss local action and compile agenda items submitted by our community. We are also joining the youth-led Rise Up Hobart rally on 4th May at Parliament Lawns to protest the federal government's continued support for new coal and gas projects. Additionally, we are highlighting critical updates including the state government's decision to discontinue the Tasmanian Climate Change ministry and Forestry Tasmania's policy shift protecting giant trees.
