Aboriginal Climate Action Fund
The Aboriginal Climate Action Fund was established for participants to compensate for the climate impact of their travel to Melbourne. The Fund supports projects in Australian Aboriginal communities that both improve the quality of life for the community and achieve measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
The Fund is sponsored by the Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies (CERES), a well-respected Melbourne environmental education organisation. CERES will ensure the integrity of the project selection process, distribute funds to the selected community projects, and report back to the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions (CPWR) and to donors like you.
The Aboriginal Climate Action Fund Steering Committee will solicit and evaluate proposals and recommend projects for funding to the CERES Board of Directors. The Committee will be comprised of Aboriginal elders, members of the Melbourne Parliament Board of Management, CPWR, and individuals with relevant expertise.
CERES and CPWR will send participants that were part of the Fund a report in early 2010 on the total amount contributed to the Fund and the projects that these contributions have made possible.
Thank you to those that contributed to the Aboriginal Climate Action Fund.
