Tweed Climate Action Now (Tweed CAN)
In 2025, Tweed Shire Council supported the establishment of a community-led group to support grassroots climate action from Tweed residents. This group is now leading, supporting and amplifying projects in renewable energy, circular economy, conservation, citizen science and local climate action.
New members welcome. Find out more or subscribe to their e-news on their website.
