Climate Change (CEO’s Message) On the 6th of May I was given the opportunity to speak at the (SACOSS) South Australian Council of Social service conference held in Adelaide alongside Doctor Victoria Matthews from University Centre for Rural Health. The conference was based around Building Climate Resilient Community Sector. It highlights a major concern on how prepared are we to live under such major changes that are happening right under our noses and nothing is being done about it nor do our mob understand how we are being impacted by the change.
The effects of climate change in our community is becoming more evident each year but it’s not talked about as often as it should. When you witness it in your own community it becomes quite significant and frightening. Scientists and Governments worldwide are recognizing that failure to act will result in increased frequency and intensity of weather events and disasters. We shouldn’t be spending money on sending someone to Mars or the moon why? We have planet earth where we should be using our own initiatives to save what we have.
