Best case scenario: Local energy and climate change resilience
In the face of accelerating climate change impacts – in particular the frequency and intensity of severe weather events – local energy (or distributed energy resources, DER) can play a significant role in increasing individual household, local community and systemwide resilience. This paper represents an early attempt to recognise this potential role.

TEC Community Action
TEC works closely with communities determined to protect the character and natural assets of their neighbourhoods across Sydney.
Work with us to save your local bushland, which is under siege from the state government's tree clearing laws and development projects. Our information forums across Sydney in 2017 created the SOS Green Spaces campaign network - you can register for your area by clicking the links below. In 2019 work with us to save Sydney's koalas, demand better community consultation, and hold developers accountable.
