Cities Power Partnership

A program of the Climate Council, Cities Power Partnership is Australia's largest network of local councils leading the way to a thriving, zero emissions future. The Cities Power Partnership is made up of councils of all shapes and sizes - from small regional towns to large metropolitan cities. When councils sign up to the program, they pledge five actions to tackle climate change locally, from ramping up renewable energy through to planning sustainable transport systems. In just three years, partner councils have committed to over 700 climate and energy pledges. Some of the innovative projects councils are taking part in include transitioning council fleets to electric vehicles, installing solar battery systems in thousands of homes and businesses, and even spearheading Australia’s first carbon-neutral kindergarten.
