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.

ROYAL OAK HOTEL, 14 Brisbane St , Launceston.

This film tells the stories of communities creating their own currencies, setting up their own pubs, planting trees, growing food. You'll see local authorities getting behind their local Transition initiatives, and get a sense of the scale of this emerging movement. It is a story of hope, and it is a call to action. It offers practical solutions to today's challenges. Runs for 50 minutes.
