MOBILISING ACROSS THE DIVIDE

BUILDING A SUPER MAJORITY OF STRONG SUPPORT

Climate change shouldn’t be a right or left issue. Big, fast action requires support across the political spectrum. How do we engage with peoples’ concerns and fears about their jobs, identity and security to breakdown the barriers to achieve a supermajority of support?

Simon Holmes-Court – Climate Policy Analyst
Miriam Lyons – Organising Director at Getup
