The next two decades will prove to be decisive tackling climate change. As a party, we take the climate crisis very seriously, environmentalism goes hand in hand with liberalism but unless we get elected our solutions remain untested.
F29 - Climate Change Action I am delighted to report that the GLD amendment (at least, most of it!) on the F29 Climate Motion has been accepted for debate by the Federal Conference Committee on Monday 16th September in Bournemouth. There were apparently 15 or 16 amendments to the Climate Change motion, more than for any other resolution on the conference agenda (and a whisper from an inside source has indicated that the FCC chose the GLD amendment because it was the `best one submitted`, rather a nice accolade). So, thank you to everyone helping to hone the wording to perfection!

Bournemouth Conference 2019
GLD News - September 2019 http://grn.lib.dm/News0919 GREEN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS EMAIL NEWSLETTER , SEPTEMBER 1st 2019 The Executive need to give you, our members, an apology. What with two elections and our own conference, and organising our largest ever programme for federal conference, (not to mention not having an editor appointed) we have failed to deliver the first annual edition of Challenge. This was due to be sent out at the beginning of July. As a result of the publication being delayed, the nomination forms for next year's exec were not sent out. Under the constitution you are all entitled to 60 days before the AGM to receive and process these.
Time for action!!
