Parramatta Climate Action Network or ParraCAN

ParraCAN is a non-political community group, which seeks action to achieve the urgent goal in this critical decade of mitigating climate change.

Our membership is broadly based coming from a range of professions, businesses, community workers, and educators who contribute their expertise and experience to achieving these goals based on acting locally. 

ParraCAN members seek to educate across our area by letterboxing, conducting surveys, holding events and forums, stalls, regularly organising delegations to state and federal politicians who will be deciding on the path we will take to reduce pollution and thus our carbon footprint.

In this, ParraCAN seeks opportunities to achieve a sustainable and more equitable society.
