Adelaide Climate Action Week 2026
LIVE in:
Where the whole state shows up for our planet
Adelaide Climate Action Week (ACAW) exists to catalyse South Australia's transition to a climate-resilient, net-zero future by connecting grassroots communities with government, industry, and research leaders.
We bring together all levels of society — from concerned parents to boardroom decision-makers — to demonstrate that effective climate action requires everyone at the table.
See the partners showing upWhy this matters
South Australia has shown the world what's possible. In just over a decade, we've reduced emissions by 57% and transformed our energy system to 74% renewable electricity generation.
But climate leadership doesn't mean the job is done.
Our oceans are under strain from harmful algal blooms.- Water scarcity is reshaping the future of our agriculture and wine regions.
- Communities are feeling the impacts of heat, drought, and ecological disruption.
Adelaide Climate Action Week (ACAW) exists to make that collaboration real.
South Australia is a leader
Emissions reduction from 2005 levels
Renewable electricity generation — Australia's highest
Net renewable electricity generation target by 2027
Waste recovery rate — national leader
Potential new jobs in carbon farming by 2030
First Australian state to cease coal power
