A three-hour online summit in Australia about the need to rapidly cool the planet.
Video recording: Session 1 – Session 2 – Session 3
Part 1 – audio recording
Melbourne’s David Spratt, a researcher with the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration Australia, hosted the opening session at Melbourne’s “Climate Cooling Mini Summit” on 24 February 2024.
David had two Finnish guests from “Operaatio Arktis” who followed and led David as he took a deep dive on “Climate Cooling and activism”.
Part 2 – audio recording
Melbourne’s Bryony Edwards (pictured) was the host for the second session of the “Climate Cooling Mini Summit”. That session was entitled “Australia’s Climate Rescue Accord” and involved a panel of speakers who addressed the idea of cooling the planet.
It was early in the session that the host encouraged people to join the free “Climate Accord Workshop” on Wednesday, February 28, where participants will have the opportunity to discuss what is required to stop and reverse warming, against proposals from select parties and independents. It will also workshop how policy frameworks can be improved.
The event was hosted by National Sustainability Festival
The Climate Cooling – Mini Summit
1pm to 4pm — Saturday 24 February 2024
Online event
The evidence is clear, emission reductions alone will not make our climate safe.
To prevent system collapse, humanity must rapidly mobilise to reduce GHG to zero, remove dangerous emissions already in the atmosphere, while also finding safe ways to reflect incoming heat. Climate interventions are increasingly considered necessary due to the escalating impacts of climate change. Finding safe pathways for this course of action is critical for a sound climate action strategy.
Join the National Sustainability Festival for this mini summit presenting a series of cutting edge forums exploring the growing movement of action to reduce, remove and reflect for climate safety.

Session 1. Global Cooling – video recording
International climate cooling & activism
This session will provide an introduction to the growing international calls for the urgent need for climate intervention research. As climate repair as youth climate action groups begin to emerge and campaign for climate cooling, we present some of the leading groups and initiatives from around the world that are grappling with the need to rapidly cool the planet.

Session 2. Australia’s Climate Rescue Accord – video recording
Political parties are working on a climate rescue platform to stop and reverse global heating.
The Climate Rescue Accord began as climate policy talks between political parties. The resulting Accord working group committed to: pursue what was required to stop and reverse warming, build a suite of policy options that underpin the 3Rs: reduce, remove and repair, get other parties, independents and organisations on board. The Climate Rescue Accord working group will present on the 3Rs, work to date, next steps and ways to get involved.
2.15pm – 3pm

Session 3. Reclaiming The Climate Emergency Locally – video recording
How we can accelerate action by all levels of government to reverse global warming.
Thousands of councils around the world have made climate emergency declarations (CEDs). These declarations accelerated action on global warming while leading state and national governments. However, no council has gone into full climate emergency mode or fully mobilised. This forum unpacks what council mobilisation looks like and how to get your council into emergency mode. This forum is a precursor to Reclaiming the Climate Emergency Conference in April 2024
