If climate adaptation is not done right, it can lead to maladaptation. We need to plan for a hotter, drier environment - so how do we make sure all voices are considered?

There is help available, and VCOSS can support your organisation to access it.

Victoria's temperature will soar to the high 30's this weekend. 🌡
Extreme, right? 🥵
How do we prepare for the scorching summers ahead?
Especially, when they're only going to get hotter.

A few final thoughts as the Victorian election ends, and we turn our focus to what can be achieved over the next four years.
Lots of challenges lie ahead for whoever is elected over the weekend.
#VicVotes #SpringSt
Cost of living has emerged as a key issue during the state election campaign, with Labor, the Coalition and the Greens all promising to ease the pressure on Victorians.
But @VCOSS CEO @EmmaKingVic is critical of some of the 'gimmicky' policies that have been promised. #9News
