The Territory's lifestyle, the economy and our globally significant conservation values are threatened by climate change. Climate models indicate global carbon pollution levels must fall by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 to prevent the world’s climate from overheating and seriously damaging ecosystems, economies and communities.
 
Every one of us can do something to live more sustainably. And at the Environment Centre NT we are helping Territorians do just that. In the Top End, living sustainably means working with the tropical climate.
 
The Territory is renowned for its big rivers full of barramundi and crocodiles, its vast deserts and woodlands that are home to unique and amazing wildlife, and its shallow seas are a refuge for dugong and sea turtles.
 
We’re working  to see the Territory become nuclear free. Australia’s nuclear industry is dangerous, expensive and creates long-lived radioactive waste that has the potential to end up in nuclear weapons. Our team advocates for a nuclear free future for the Territory, and promote alternative options to the exploration, mining, transport and dumping of radioactive materials.
 
Darwin Harbour is the jewel of the Darwin region, and also its heart beat. We aim to keep it a Living Harbour. Thankfully, much of the Harbour is still in a largely natural state, but there are many proposals and plans that could see this change. The health of the harbour is tied to how we use, or abuse, its catchment and what gets dumped or pumped into its waters.
