Tackling Climate Change
VicWater has prepared a compendium of information on ways the Victorian water industry is tackling climate change.
This information has been prepared for the Parliament of Victoria Environment and Planning Committee’ 2019 Inquiry into Tackling Climate Change in Victorian Communities.
These case studies include: water industry collaborations, behind the meter renewable energy generation, water and energy efficient housing development, community engagement, and community-based initiatives.
