Climate Future Survey

• What would an increase in temperature of 2–3 degrees mean for our City?
• As a community, how do we decrease risk, build resilience and prepare for more extreme weather events?
• And then how do we as a community build our climate resilience? How can we focus this large and complex conversation to unpack ideas that can be enacted and championed at the local level?

Fremantle’s location as a coastal town gives our community a front row seat when witnessing extreme weather events. Coastal erosion and sea-level rise are just a few challenges our city will face in our climate future. High winds, rain-storms and flooding, and volatile temperature increases and drops will also have a huge effect on the way we live, work, and play. Although it can feel as if local governments do not have the jurisdiction or power to affect change for our climate future, there are ways we as a community can anticipate, manage and adapt to the impacts of climate change. Let's consider the risks that will directly affect Fremantle’s climate future.

This is a “Courageous Conversation” about the crucial role our communities will play in navigating Fremantle’s climate future. We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can further this hot-button topic together.
