The Climate Network for Community Organisations is facilitated by VCOSS, with the aim to build capacity within the Victorian community services sector around climate change response.
The next meeting of the Network will explore the topic of climate resilient housing, addressing some timely questions. What are climate resilient homes? Why are they important for people experiencing poverty and disadvantage? How can community organisations be involved in supporting and advocating for climate resilient housing?
