Amanda Stone, Former Mayor and Council Member - Yarra, Melbourne, Australia
· Yarra is a city that has been out in front on climate action for decades. The city has declared a climate emergency as a foundation to climate action planning.
· The council operations are in fact carbon neutral and the focus has shifted to making the city or community also meet this ambition.
· The “Yarra Energy Foundation” has a role to facilitate collaborations and act as hub to pull together disparate groups and organisations to work on a zero carbon future.

· Malmö in Sweden is an inspiration – with its people-centred focus and creating local neighbourhoods that are walkable and good for people and the planet.
