About us

The Melbourne Climate Network is evolving. After several years of bringing together Melbourne’s climate-focused community, we are transitioning to operate solely as a digital resource platform that supports individuals and organisations driving climate action across our city and beyond.

This new direction allows us to focus on what we do best: curating high-quality information, insights and tools that help people stay informed, connected to opportunities, and empowered to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient Melbourne.
 

Our Purpose

We remain committed to accelerating climate action in Melbourne. While our work will no longer include in-person gatherings or facilitated networking events, our mission continues through a renewed emphasis on:

  • Digital knowledge sharing - on climate innovation, policy, funding, and community initiatives
  • Resource guides and curated content - that help people navigate Melbourne’s climate landscape
  • Profiles, case studies and stories - that spotlight local leaders and projects
  • Access to digital tools, frameworks and learning materials - for anyone looking to deepen their climate impact
