About Jo Dodds

Jo Dodds is a founding member and president of Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action. She was a member of Bega Valley Shire Council during the 2018 Tathra fire and the Black Summer bushfires. She didn’t lose her home but cannot count the number of friends who have lost theirs to climate-fuelled bushfires. She felt a duty to speak up about the causes of climate change after the Tathra bushfire because she says the science is indisputable. She is concerned not just for her generation but future generations who have no involvement in causing climate damage yet will be left with the result of our current decisions and actions. The group has around 1500 supporters across Queensland, NSW, Victoria and South Australia, plus the Netherlands and North America. You can email her at [email protected]
