What is Climate Action Week Sydney?

Climate Action Week Sydney is powered by the people of Sydney, allowing individuals from any part of the community to host their own events independently while leveraging the mission, platform, brand, and audience of CAW.SYD to enhance their impact.

By tapping existing climate initiatives and encouraging all of our community to participate, we seek to elevate Sydney’s role in global climate discussions, initiatives, and impact-oriented action.

The featured events run for one week each year, but the connections, conversations, and actions happen every day, and will continue to deliver climate action impact.

The goals of climate action week sydney

CAW.SYD has established six long-term aspirational goals to guide our vision for impact over the next five to ten years. Each year, we also define six themes to curate the week's events, fostering meaningful and impactful outcomes.

Accelerate the transition to zero emissions and a nature-positive world through inclusive and collaborative action.

Mobilise the entire climate action ecosystem to foster ambitious, scalable and life-sustaining systems change.

Empower the next generation with a platform to amplify their voices and lead transformative impact.

Honour and collaborate with First Nations communities to elevate their leadership and invaluable knowledge in Earth Systems stewardship.

Amplify innovations and entrepreneurial leadership to accelerate and scale climate action solutions to actualise our zero emissions future.

Attract top domestic and global talent, investors, and organisations to drive positive, lasting impact in Australia and globally.

What is climate action?

we've identified 5 pillars of climate action

1
Educate

Dive into the world of greenhouse gas emissions, uncover the realities of climate change, and explore the dynamic actions we can take to make a difference. Knowledge is power, and by understanding these critical issues, we're taking the first step towards a brighter, more sustainable future.

2
Inspire change

Through the power of policy reform, compelling storytelling, and passionate advocacy, we can spark a wave of behavioural transformation. It's about creating a movement where every story told and every voice heard fuels the fire of positive change.

3
Reduce emissions

Embrace the cutting-edge climate tech solutions and adopt practices that cut down our greenhouse gas emissions. It's about making smarter choices every day to pave the way for a greener planet.

4
Remove emissions

Actively work towards cleansing our atmosphere by naturally and technologically removing existing greenhouse gases. This dual approach is our secret weapon in reversing the tide against climate change.

5
Adapt & build resilience

As our climate evolves, so must we. By building resilience, we prepare ourselves to not just survive but thrive in the face of changing climates. It's about adapting our ways of life, our communities, and our world to not just withstand the challenges but emerge stronger.
