Call to action on climate change

Join TAKE2 to pledge to take action on climate change

Victorians are concerned about climate change, and 78 per cent of Victorians believe that climate change is an issue that requires urgent action now. 

To help you take action on climate change, the Victorian Government’s TAKE2 website will give you free information and a personal action plan to reduce your emissions and help limit global temperature rise to under 2 degrees. 

So far, over 12,000 Victorians have joined the TAKE2 network and pledged to take action – this includes households, businesses, community groups and councils. 

If you’d like to pledge the actions you’ll take to reduce emissions, sign up and set your action plan
