WHO WE ARE

United for a Climate Positive South Australia

South Australians for Climate Action brings together leaders from business, community organisations, academia, agriculture, and civil society. We are non-partisan and focused solely on driving meaningful progress on climate change and protecting our unique biodiversity.

In 2026, South Australia continues to lead the nation with record renewable energy generation, but we must do more. Our state has the potential to become a global example of a clean, resilient, and prosperous low-carbon economy.

Our Vision

We envision a South Australia where clean energy powers every home and business, our landscapes are thriving with biodiversity, our communities are climate-resilient, and economic prosperity is built on sustainable foundations.

SA Climate Action Statement

We call on the South Australian Government to lead a powerful, ambitious response to the climate crisis and to protect our unique biodiversity.

In 2026, the science is clear: we must halve emissions this decade and reach net zero by 2035 at the latest. South Australia is uniquely positioned to lead this transition thanks to our world-class renewable resources, innovative businesses, and strong community support.

“South Australia has already shown what is possible. We led the nation in renewable energy adoption. Now we must lead in creating a just, prosperous and sustainable future for all.”

Our Key Calls to Action:

  • → Accelerate the transition to 100% renewable energy and develop a world-leading green hydrogen industry.
  • → Protect and restore native habitats and biodiversity across our state.
  • → Support climate-smart agriculture and regenerative practices.
  • → Invest in climate adaptation and resilience for our communities and infrastructure.
  • → Create thousands of green jobs in clean energy, sustainability, and circular economy sectors.

This is not just an environmental imperative — it is an economic opportunity that will secure South Australia’s prosperity for generations to come.

WHY IT MATTERS

Stronger Action is Good for South Australia

⚡

Clean Energy Economy

South Australia is already a renewable energy leader. By 2026 we continue powering homes and attracting investment. Expanding this creates high-skill jobs and positions SA as an energy exporter.

🌾

Resilient Communities

Climate-smart agriculture, urban greening, and adaptation measures protect our food systems, reduce extreme heat impacts, and build stronger, healthier communities.

🌊

Biodiversity Protection

Our unique ecosystems — from the Flinders Ranges to the Coorong — face increasing threats. Urgent protection ensures they thrive for future generations.

Renewable electricity generation achieved in recent years — the foundation for even greater ambition in 2026 and beyond.
