LHMU Secretary to be trained by Al Gore at the Asia Pacific Summit
LHMU Secretary Dave Kelly has been selected from more than 2000 Australasian applicants to travel to Melbourne and complete a three day intensive course where he will learn to deliver a version the slide show from the documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
It is the first time people from the Asia Pacific region have been specifically included in the program which builds on the work of The Climate Project - Australia.
The A-P Summit brings together 300 people representing a broad cross section of people from a diverse cross section of industry, advocacy and broad social groupings from Australasia and the Asia Pacific region. They will benefit from Mr Gore’s tutelage and the expertise of a panel of international scientists.
Once trained, Dave commits to completing 10 activities – to an audience of his choice. Five of those activities need be completed by November 30. The activities might be speaking to work colleagues about climate change, delivering a climate change presentation or talking to the media about his role.
“As an organisation and as Australians we are committed to taking real strides in order to help avoid the worst of the climate crisis,” Dave said.
“The climate crisis is a challenge for all of us.”
In Australia, one in seventy five Australians have now seen a presentation delivered by one of the 250 Al Gore trained Climate Project presenters working throughout communities in Australia.
