Climate Change Balmain-Rozelle is possibly best known for its bi-monthly Climate in the Pub. From April 2021 we are returning to live meetings - in the Pub! Join us from 6.30 for 7pm, second Tuesday every even month for an informal and informed discussion. Numbers are still restricted, so you will need to register.

We have a guest speaker or two for the chosen topic. Subscribe to our Event Calendar, Newsletter or watch out for our Climate in the Pub posters on power poles in the area. For the full authentic experience ask us to let you help put the posters up! On the evening come in good time for a drink and a chat beforehand (or maybe a meal), listen to the experts, ask questions and share your views.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 13 April, starting at 7pm. Arrive from 6.30pm

Meeting the Climate Challenge: Tue 23 February 2021

Brad Smith, Campaigns Director with the NSW Nature Conservation Council explained how NCC's new report Meeting the climate challenge spells out what's needed to reach 100% clean energy by 2030 and to create a safe, liveable climate for people and communities.

Key factors are a lower cost than business-as-usual, and better reliability. The report finds that both are achievable, but the fact that coal is actually going out quicker than anyone expected is among the risks that need to be managed.

Hydrogen & Renewable Energy: Consider the Possibilities Tue 8 Dec

Hydrogen is the earth's commonest element. When it is produced using renewable energy or processes, it can be compressed and stored or converted to ammonia, and shipped to where it's needed, for use when it's needed. When it's burnt, it produces just energy and water vapour. No carbon dioxide. But it requires energy to make it in the first place. Nicky Ison, Energy Transition Manager at WWF, and formerly from the Institute for Sustainable Futures, will explain the role of hydrogen in making the fullest use of renewable energy – and the things to watch for.
