Are you walking the walk?

Walk Against Warming is Australia's largest day of community action on climate change and every year CCWA runs the Walk Against Warming in Perth.

The aim of Walk Against Warming is to show our political leaders that Western Australians are deeply concerned about global warming.

This year, the walk will take place on Saturday 12th from 11am to 3pm and will be opened by our Lord Mayor, Lisa Scaffidi, who will also lead the procession. We chose the date to coincide with the midpoint of the Copenhagen Climate Summit and the International Day of Action on Climate Change.

We are expecting to see over five thousand participants joining the walk from the Perth Cultural Centre to Russell Square. At its conclusion, this family-friendly event will include stalls for businesses, government and community organisations as well as entertainment for people of all ages.
