Become a Net-Zero Hero!

A new initiative has been launched, designed to help not-for-profit leaders cut greenhouse gas emissions and respond to climate change.

The Net Zero Heroes website includes help sheets about key climate change concepts, mitigation and adaptation strategies, and tools to help not-for-profits take action, including a free funding discovery portal.  

The site focuses on three key strategies for cutting greenhouse gas emissions: 

1.     Shifting to green power 

2.     Installing solar and batteries 

3.     Transitioning car fleets to hybrid and electric vehicles  

Deals developed specifically for the not-for-profit sector will be added in coming weeks. 

ICDA’s Community Directors Council chair Susan Pascoe AM says not-for-profit leaders must consider climate change as a serious governance issue.  

“The new ICDA site is not just for environmental organisations – every single not-for-profit needs to be shifting to cut their emissions, and every single not-for-profit organisation should be planning for climate change,” she said.  

“Climate change will affect everything. Whether you’re a sports group or an arts group or a charity working with vulnerable Australians – every single organisation has a responsibility to understand what climate change means for their mission, their operations and their constituents.”
