We – researchers and community organisers concerned about climate change – will be holding ‘listening posts’ and a public meetings around Central and Southern Queensland
At these gatherings we invite you to share your perspective on coal and climate change in your community.
Trained researchers will listen, without judgement or debate, and share these findings at public meetings across Queensland.
Our aim is to develop an understanding of the key issues and concerns of people who are dependent on or affected by the coal industry, and how together we can accommodate these concerns as we seek to address climate change and move towards a sustainable economy.
