Project description:

EAGA is committed to responding to the challenges of climate change through programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the region and supporting regional adaptation to climate change impacts.

EAGA’s work to build council capability, deliver projects, and coordinate advocacy has led to a range of significant outcomes for communities, councils and the environment.

Since 2012, EAGA has helped secure net financial savings of $10.1 million for EAGA councils, with expected emissions saving of almost 625,000 tonnes over the lifetime of the projects. Initiatives have also led to savings of $3.4 million for more than 1534 households across EAGA councils.
