As part of the Northern Territory’s (NT) Closing the Gap implementation plan, the NT Government committed to sharing information on Closing the Gap and the shared responsibilities.

A key finding in the Climate Council’s Neighbourhood Issue: Climate risks and costs to Councils report is that while climate change is an immense challenge for all levels of government its impacts are felt most acutely at the local level.
To support councils to raise staff awareness of climate risk management a suite of training and engagement tools has been developed by the Local Government Association of South Australian (LGASA) councils. LGASA have kindly allowed LGANT to share these resources with our members.
The complete set of materials for use by council staff to provide training to key decision makers of councils, including executive staff and Elected Members can be download here
