Thousands brave scorching Perth heat for a safe climate future.
Australia’s largest community protest for action on climate change was held on Saturday 12 December, with more than 90,000 people taking part in the Walk Against Warming in every major city and regional centres across the country.
More than 3000 braved scorching hot weather in Perth and took to the streets of Northbridge sending a message to world leaders in Copenhagen that the community is fed up with excuses and unfulfilled promises and the Australian Government must bring home a strong, fair and binding global agreement on climate action.
A big thank you to all those who joined us in Perth!
