The organisation Slap Tomorrow was launched in June 2013 with a forum to create awareness in the Shepparton Community on the developing climate change issue (see past projects). Slap Tomorrow has continued as an organisation dedicated to keeping the public of Shepparton aware of climate change .
Slap Tomorrow had a substantial influence leading up to Greater Shepparton Greater City Council’s declaring a climate emergency in March 2020
At its September 2024 meeting the members of Slap Tomorrow agreed to discontinue the Incorporated Body called 'Slap Tomorrow' but continue as an informal discussion and advocacy group.
The challenges associated with climate change continue to be a major issue that must be addressed by government bodies at all levels, and we are proud as an organisation to have played a small part in increasing public awareness.
