BUC Responds to Towards Net Zero
Thanks to everyone who attended the conversation last Sunday regarding “How can the Synod reach net zero emissions by 2040?”
It was wonderful to see the discussions and to hear the responses.
A summary of all the responses is available here.
Richard Arnold is happy to amend this if participants have anything to change.
Our response will soon be sent to the Synod Taskforce – then from all the responses across the Synod, recommendations will be prepared for the November Synod meeting.
Towards Net Zero – Synod Climate Paper
All members of the Uniting Church community are invited to read the discussion paper called: “How can the Synod reach net zero emissions by 2040?” and respond, if they wish, by Monday 29th May 2023. A report will then be produced, based on the responses, and presented to the Synod meeting in November 2023.
So, whether or not you were able to join the Climate Action Group after worship on 30th of April to reflect on the discussion paper, you are invited to write your personal response.
Read the discussion paper or, if you don’t have time, read the four page Executive Summary sheet.

Take time to make a plan so that when appliances like hot water need replacing, you’re ready to make the switch. Keep reading to learn about the events, resources and Merri-bek residents who have gone all-electric. Electrify Everything is a campaign being delivered by councils across Australia.
