Community Climate Conversations

Consultation has concluded. Thanks for your contributions.

Join the biggest community conversation on climate change in Australia!

What's being decided?

This is your opportunity to engage in conversations to help shape how South Australia transitions to a clean, green and net zero greenhouse emissions future.

Background

The Conservation Council and South Australians for Climate Action are hosting an independent statewide community conversation on climate change. The results will assist in planning our states’ transition to net zero.

This Community Conversation has been kick started by a group of 50 independently selected South Australians who are broadly representative of our community in terms of age, gender and location. The representatives met earlier this year to identify key emissions reduction activities to help get the conversation started. These ideas have been incorporated in a Conversation Guide.

The project is sponsored by the Department for Environment and Water.

Get Involved

“We have already engaged with businesses and industries on how we reduce our emissions, and, through the Community Climate Conversations, the community has the opportunity to join that conversation. I would strongly encourage everyone to get involved.” - Deputy Premier and Minister for the Environment and Water, Susan Close

Getting involved is easy!

  1. Get a few friends, colleagues or your community group together,
  2. Discuss the questions together and
  3. Upload the notes from your conversation to the online feedback form.

Anyone can host a conversation or join a conversation on climate.

You can also leave us your comments or questions in our Questions tool.

Keen to learn more?

You can find the Conversation Guide, information about how to host and the links to the online feedback forms on the website of independent engagement consultancy democracyco.


What are the next steps?

In December, all the feedback will be independently analysed and provided in a detailed report to the Minister for Environment and Water, and to government more broadly.

The diagram below shows the steps in the engagement process.

  • Consultation Outcome

    Thank you to the over 750 South Australians from diverse backgrounds, with diverse interests, and from diverse locations that got involved and participated in 114 Community Climate Conversations across the state.

    The focus of the conversations was to answer the question: what can South Australians do, what can their communities do, what should government do, and what should industry do to help us achieve net zero emissions by 2050?

    The final report summarises the feedback and reflections provided through these 114 conversations. The report is provided to assist the South Australian Government in understanding the views of the community and to inform the development of strategies for reaching the Government’s targets of net zero emissions by 2050.
