Run for a Safe Climate
On 2 November, 25 emergency services workers will start from Cooktown on their epic 28-day, 6000-kilometre Run for a Safe Climate, ending in Melbourne on 29 November.
From the heat of Far North Queensland, to the Coorong lakes in SA and the Victorian Alps, Run for a Safe Climate with more than 20 community events and forums along the route is very likely coming to a town near you!
www.runforasafeclimate.org
Our emergency services workers are our climate front line. They tackle our intensifying fires, floods, storms and the medical fallout of these events. They're running because they understand the risk and safety issues that global warming is creating and they want to make a difference.
The run is a unique and powerful way to take the Safe Climate message out into the community, and I hope you can be part of the project.
