Held in the Upper Florentine Valley, Tasmania.

Our climate team must convince world leaders to include the protection of the world's forests in the Copenhagen climate deal. You can help by joining us for a walk through Tasmania's carbon-dense forests.

The science is clear. We cannot secure a safe climate without protecting the world's forests and reducing emissions from deforestation and the logging and degradation of forests.

The event will include a number of speakers talking about the role that native forests play in storing carbon and regulating global climate systems; the latest science which outlines the severity of climate change; the need for just transitions for workers in carbon polluting industries; and the positive opportunities for expanding our renewable energy and low carbon industries.

Come along to the Socialist Alliance and Green Left Weekly End of Year BBQ.
