Climate Change Balmain-Rozelle is famous for its bi-monthly event: Climate in the Pub, We invite speakers on a wide range of subjects to give a short talk followed by a Q&A ssession.
Climate in the Pub Meetups provide a regular opportunity to meet others in Inner West Sydney who share your concern for the climate, find out what's happening to promote change and see how you can help take action on the climate crisis. Or we may have a quiz or another fun event.
Also, don't miss our film nights held jointly with the Meet the Director program at the Darling Street Anglican Church, 668 Darling Street, Rozelle.
Climate Change Balmain-Rozelle is the group behind Climate in the Pub, a regular gathering to hear excellent speakers in a social setting. But we do much more to promote action on climate change at local, state and national level. In 2018, we won Most Outstanding Environment Group in NSW, an award presented by the Nature Conservation Council. All our meetings are open to all from the inner west and beyond.
