Adrian Whitehead (pictured) has spent most of life doing what he could to make people aware of environmental issues.

Those early concerns have morphed into taking direct action on global warming and saw him play a significant role in the establishment of "Beyond Zero Emissions".

Adrian was one of a small group that worked to see Melbourn's "Darebin City Council" become the first government in the world to declare a climate emergency.

His efforts to take his concerns to a wider audience saw him set up "Council and Community Action in the
​Climate Emergency (CACE)".
