Following the Banyule City Council 2018 Declaration of a Climate Emergency a broad and diverse Banyule community developed mechanisms for a sustainable future in a shared language, enabling the emergence of a thriving, regenerative community who are recognised as a global exemplar of living kindly, treading lightly and replenishing the Earth. We now all share a deep satisfaction that we, as humanity, will be okay.
