Restore natural water cycles

Engage politicians to drive action on regeneration

While we fight and combat the forces of climate change, we must also rebuild and regenerate. Engaging with MPs, politicians and getting involved in advocacy projects to stimulate this is important right now.

While we fight and combat the forces of climate change, we must also rebuild and regenerate: create and heal while building better solutions and infrastructure to halt the effects of global warming and head towards a zero emission future. Systems like regenerative agriculture - farming and grazing practices that can reverse climate change by building healthy soils while sequestering carbon from the atmosphere - are crucial.

Moving away from destructive agricultural practices to restore our carbon balance is one way we can drive regenerative practices for our future, tackling climate change and ensuring a better future. Engaging with MPs, politicians and getting involved in advocacy projects and movements to stimulate this are actions we can take - here are some first steps:

Australia

Contact your MP

Contacting your MP to engage with them on climate change action and regeneration is one of the most effective ways of making positive change. Before you make contact, make sure you’ve done some research on their position on climate change and energy policy.

Fridays for Future (Global)

Fridays for Future is a youth-led and -organised movement that began in August 2018, after 15-year-old Greta Thunberg and other young activists sat in front of the Swedish parliament every school day for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. This protest has now become a global movement and is something everyone can get involved in.
