City of Melbourne is proud to be part of a local and international movement of cities that will act to reduce emissions and to address climate change impacts.

The greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming are generated from electricity, gas, transport, and waste produced in our city. They are also generated by food and agriculture, goods and services, and the resources that go into packaging, clothes and building materials. Too many greenhouse gas emissions act like a blanket around the earth, causing temperatures to rise.

To reduce greenhouse emissions, we need collective action by customers and businesses, commuters and transport companies, tenants and building owners, investors and government regulators. By taking action together, we can generate health and social benefits and reduce the cost of environmental impact.

We are already investing in renewable energy, urban forests, green buildings, waste innovation and in better pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. Through such creative initiatives, we can deliver better health for our community together with economic, social and environmental benefits.

We are doing this because we want our city to remain a great place to live, work and visit, but climate change is threatening that.

As Melbourne feels the effects of climate change it threatens the liveability of our city through heatwaves, flooding, drought and poor air quality.

Creative industries are an evolving mix of sectors spanning arts and culture, screen and design. They cover disciplines as diverse as game development and graphic design, fashion and filmmaking, media and music, comedy and craft, and include activities that are both commercially-driven and community-based, experimental and export-intense.

Creative industries are important to our prosperity. They drive new approaches to job creation and industry innovation. As the economy transitions and jobs of the future emerge, creative industries will be increasingly important to the future of the next generation.

Victoria has an ambitious climate change strategy. With a A$1.6 billion energy package to power Victoria’s progress towards a clean energy future, opportunities for businesses to contribute to this future are abundant.

Victoria is home to a thriving clean energy research and development industry, with major projects ranging from printed solar cells to geothermal heating and cooling.

We're developing new materials and processes to produce thin, flexible and semi-transparent solar cells using printable 'solar inks'. These inks are deposited onto flexible plastic film using processes like micro-gravure coating, slot-die coating and screen printing.

Geothermal systems work using water as a heat transfer medium to transfer heat from water or the ground (via water in pipes) into a building using circulation pumps.

Ground temperatures are ‘captured’ by the water and transferred into a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) via a heat exchanger. The GSHP then produces water, typically in the range of 7 to 50 degrees Celsius, for cooling and heating respectively.

Recycling Victoria's purpose is to strengthen Victoria's waste and recycling system. It aims to increase the reliability and transparency of the sector and maximise the ongoing use of products and materials that would otherwise be waste.

City of Melbourne has set a target to divert 90 percent of waste from landfill by 2030 and a 20 percent reduction in household waste per capita between 2019 and 2030. Moving towards a circular economy, which eliminates waste and reuses resources, will help keep Melbourne a sustainable, beautiful, safe and liveable city.

It will divert materials from landfill, minimise extraction of natural resources, and reduce carbon emissions. Improving building design is critical to improving resource recovery, easing congestion, reducing noise and odour pollution and keeping our city clean. It is up to everyone in the city - residents, workers, developers, visitors and businesses – to work towards zero waste.

The historic Western Treatment Plant in Werribee is a world leader in environmentally-friendly sewage treatment, and one of Victoria’s most unlikely hidden treasures.

Roughly the size of Phillip Island, the vast site is home to more than just sewage treatment facilities – doubling as a working farm and internationally-recognised bird habitat. Here, agriculture and biodiversity meet resource recovery, education and ecotourism, supporting Melbourne’s renowned liveability.
