Cities Power Partnership
The Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership is Australia’s largest network of local councils leading the way to a thriving, zero emissions future. We are part of over 165 councils from across the country, representing almost 65 percent of the Australian population.
Together, Cities Power Partnership councils are making the switch to clean energy and setting up communities for a prosperous future.
Sustainable Choice
Sustainable Choice provides guidance and support to member councils to help them work toward procuring products and services that have environmental, social, financial and cultural benefits. By making informed procurement decisions based on quadruple bottom line considerations, councils can reduce their impacts and risks now and in the future. In many cases, long term cost savings occur as a result.
