Lighthouse Retreat 2025
“We need a Jewish response to climate change because there’s no better way to connect and engage people who may otherwise not have been engaged in this important issue. I know personally I doubt I would have been here if not for the Jewish Climate Network being a Jewish Climate Network.” - Jacqui
Lighthouse is a 3-day climate leadership retreat for aspiring innovators and leaders in the Australian Jewish community. We wrestle with what it takes to address this important challenge in this “critical decade”.
The next retreat will be held in August 2025.
Our first Lighthouse was in March 2025 at the Cleveland Estate in Victoria’s beautiful Macedon wine region. Over the weekend of March 14–16, sixteen Jewish leaders and innovators from Sydney, Melbourne and Northern Rivers came together to learn from leading climate experts, who shared insights spanning science, public policy, advocacy, investment and clean tech. We were inspired by what participants took away:
“One thing I took away from this weekend is that it’s really important for Jewish communities and leaders in the Jewish community to define spaces that address the environment, our relationship with climate change and with each other".
