Higgins Climate Action Network (Higgins CAN) is an alliance of local volunteer groups which share a concern about the Climate Emergency. We formed an alliance to achieve more by working together.

Our aim is to encourage our community and political leaders to take effective Climate Action.

We are a non-partisan network which runs on people power and  seeks to promote strong Climate Action by all levels of government.

Following last year’s decision to abolish the seat of Higgins, and after a lot of discussion, Higgins CAN will continue in its present form until after the 2025 election. We will mostly campaign in the Kooyong and Chisholm electorates, and mainly within the current Higgins boundaries, in collaboration with other climate groups who operate in those seats.

Members of the Higgins Climate Action Network:

– Australian Conservation Foundation Malvern Climate Action Group
– Australian Religious Response to Climate Change
– Doctors for the Environment Australia (Higgins)
– Environment Victoria South Eastern Volunteers – EVSEV
– Friends of the Earth Melbourne
– Lighter Footprints

Through their representatives on the Coordinating Committee, Higgins CAN member organisations choose which campaigns and activities they want to participate in. Some campaigns and activities involve all member organisations, and some do not.

Climate Action, health and Climate solutions

Higgins CAN aims to accelerate Climate Action by:
• Encouraging our community and leaders
