One week in the job and our new CEO Natalie Collard is up in Rockhampton for the National Drought Forum. Congrats to farmers Melanie Shannon and Melinee Leather from the Barfield Road Producer Group for your climate leadership and thanks to @jim_chalmers_mp for taking the time to say g'day to Natalie! Both the Treasurer and Federal Agriculture Minister @murraypwatt made it very clear that climate change is disproportionately impacting farmers and regional Australians.

Farmers for Climate Action is calling for urgent action to limit climate change as it emerges farmers are officially facing an El Niño weather pattern after three years of La Niña. Already some farmers, including Farmers for Climate Action member Peter Lake who farms near Grafton on the NSW North Coast, are officially in drought conditions after battling floods 12 months ago. “It turned from mud to concrete in a couple of weeks and suddenly everything was just dry. From flood to drought, climate change is making the changes more extreme,” Mr Lake said. Farmers for Climate Action Chair Brett Hall, who farms in the Derwent Valley in Tasmania, said many farmers were concerned about the possibility of warmer, drier conditions and increased weather variability for eastern Australia this spring and summer. “Although some farmers have had reasonable conditions recently, we know things can change in a few months.” Mr Hall said that Australian farmers are great at adapting, but that ultimately we need to address the driving cause of climate change – emissions. “Farmers are always looking three steps ahead to the next event but there are limits to their adaptation. While we adapt and mitigate on-farm, we need to know the rest of the economy is doing its bit to reduce emissions and tackle climate change, which is causing more frequent and severe weather events.” Read our full media release via the link in our bio 🔗
