With energy bills rising, now is a great time to consider putting solar on your roof, switching to all-electric hot water and appliances, and upgrading heating/cooling systems. Electrifying your home could not only save you money, it will also make it more comfortable in summer and winter, and reduce emissions.

Businesses in Bass Coast are exposed to the physical and financial threats of climate change. By acting now to adopt sustainable practices, businesses can reduce energy use, waste, and emissions. This page will help identify the actions that are feasible for your business right now, and which could be planned for the future.

Given their reliance on our natural environment, our farms are highly exposed to the physical and financial threats associated with climate change. Significant local work has already been undertaken to understand how farmers can best contribute to climate change action and future proof their farms.

There are many community groups across Bass Coast taking action to reduce emissions and protect our beautiful natural environment. Collaborating with other like-minded people is a great way to find solutions to the climate emergency, and make new friends at the same time!

Do you have a great idea for a sustainability project but need funding to achieve it? This page has information about federal, state, and local government grants, including Bass Coast Shire Council's community grants program which has $40,000 annually for climate action projects.

Council is taking action to reduce its operational emissions and support the community to achieve net zero by 2030. This includes projects that lay the foundations for future action, directly reduce emissions, and support a resilient local environment, infrastructure and community.
