Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century Join us for a compelling discussion with George Megalogenis as he unpacks Three Shocks: Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century. In conversation with journalist Tory Shepherd, George will explore how the federal elections of 2022 and 2025 were an overdue wake-up call to three shocks that have reshaped our national identity:

For the first time since federation, we have a population that’s majority migrants and their children. Professional women are now the largest segment of the workforce, replacing blue-collar men. On the world stage, both our allies and our key trade partners have proven unreliable. In an era defined by uncertainty and possibility, what do these shocks mean for our political landscape? Which forces are driving change, and how are political leaders responding? George sheds light on the strategies, debates and decisions that will shape the nation’s future.

Imprints Booksellers will be selling copies of Three Shocks: Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century in the Auditorium foyer on the night of the event.

Action Network For everyone everywhere interested in Extinction Rebellion this talk, ‘Heading for Extinction (and what to do about it)’ is your entry point. We are facing climate and ecological catastrophe, and time is running out. Our political system is broken and our leaders are failing to protect us.

Find out about Extinction Rebellion, an international movement using non-violent mass civil disobedience as a tried and tested way to force governments to take the action that is needed.

‘Heading for Extinction and what to do about it’ generally precedes the Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA)/Civil Disobedience training. This introductory talk and NVDA training will help you get involved with the XR movement. We also run regular online orientation/Q&A space for new rebels, which introduces you to Extinction Rebellion, how it works, what its aims, principles and values are, and how you can get involved. NVDA training is an introduction for those who want to participate in mass actions and you can also take part in more specific action skills trainings.

‘Heading for Extinction and what to do about it’ provides an up-to-date and honest picture of what is causing the climate emergency, and what needs to happen, urgently, to prevent the worst of climate disasters. There are opportunities for questions and discussion.

Come and explore how you can be part of the rebellion, starting now! All states and countries welcome.

NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week invites people to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

This year’s NAIDOC theme is Fifty Years of Deadly. It’s a tribute to the people who built this movement, the Elders who stood firm, the organisers who made space, the artists who turned resistance into expression, and the communities who keep showing up, year after year.

Karl Winda Telfer, Burka Senior Man and Neporendi Aboriginal Forum Incorporated Board member stated that “for 50 years, NAIDOC has carried the strength, stories, and spirit of our people. We honour the old as we walk in the new, lighting the path for the next generation. Deadly then, deadly now, deadly always”.

Pushing Back on Protest Attacks Protest is crucial to maintaining fair and healthy democracies.

Across Australia, increasingly restrictive anti-protest laws are being proposed and police brutality against protestors is likely to increase as a result.

Grounded in deep listening and cultural practice, Tjukurpa Kunpu tells stories of connection - to Tjukurpa, to each other, and to Country. These thirteen artists are connected from many places across regional South Australia, each of them with deep personal connections to curator Marli Macumba.

Marli Macumba is a Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Arrernte, and Gurindji artist and emerging curator. A Ku Arts First Nations Curators Program Alumni, Marli continues to illustrate her steadfast commitment to elevating First Nations voices through her curatorial practice with her solo curatorial debut, Tjukurpa Kunpu.

With a strong focus on her home community in Port Augusta, she continues to champion opportunities for local artists to share their stories, celebrate culture, and strengthen intergenerational connections. This exhibition will reflect Marli’s evolving curatorial vision, one that centres community, culture, and Country.

One Nation is dominating the narrative right now – and it’s not because Pauline Hanson is suddenly more persuasive.

The hoarding of wealth and resources by the few has caused an economic crisis for the many, and the political mainstream are failing to put forward an ambitious solution people can get behind. When we fail to articulate a believable path out of a crisis, or worse stay silent for fear of getting it wrong, a vacuum appears. Enter One Nation who have filled it and, as a result, are dominating the mainstream media with divisive messages targeting people based on their race and gender, pitting communities against each other for political gain.

While the conversation is centred around Pauline Hanson’s sudden ascension to being preferred Prime Minister, social proofing for One Nation continues to climb, we continue to cede ground, and communities of colour and immigrants are rightly feeling abandoned.

Here’s what we know:

People are angry and outraged about the economic crisis, and billionaires have succeeded in scapegoating marginalised communities (including immigrants, trans people, and working class communities). Globally, anti-immigration parties are gaining in traction as a result.

Newer One Nation supporters are generally doing it tough and are looking for a way to protest and challenge the ‘political elite’ (aka major parties – and even civil society organisations), who they feel have failed them. They don’t always support One Nation policies, but are looking for alternatives that aren’t elitist. As a result, attacking Pauline Hanson in fact moves persuadables away from our messages of fairness and justice.

The solutions to improve the lives of everyday people are our solutions – real wage rises, tackling housing inequality, stemming corporate greed, ensuring access to public health and education – yet this is the opposite of the current conversation. Put simply: our messages aren’t cutting through.

We’ve invited Anat Shenker-Osorio to host a snap briefing to share frank advice on how we turn this around. Anat has spent years figuring out how progressive movements break out of this stagnation; build solidarity across race, class and genders; and give people a vision to get excited about. The briefing will include a presentation plus Q&A with Anat.

From hotter days and changing rainfall patterns to more frequent extreme weather, these changes are already shaping how we live, work and plan for the future. What might this mean for you?

Join a free public webinar hosted by the Department for Environment and Water to unpack some of the key findings from South Australia’s first Statewide Climate Change Risk and Opportunity Assessment.

As South Australia’s first statewide assessment, this work provides an important foundation for understanding risks and opportunities associated with our changing climate to support better planning for our future.

Climate change and disasters place disproportionate pressures on women, who often shoulder increased caring responsibilities while playing leading roles in community recovery and resilience. Despite this, women remain underrepresented in climate, disaster and energy transition decision-making.

This discussion will enable a mixed audience of experts, advisers to government and those interested in climate resilience and/or gender equity to examine the intersections of gender, care, and the renewable energy transition — helping identify risks, opportunities and practical policy solutions that:

Strengthen Communities: Build resilience across regional and metropolitan South Australia

Improve Equity: Address underrepresentation in climate and energy decision making

Maximise Benefits: Unlock the social and economic potential of climate action in SA

The Emerging Leaders Expo is the flagship event for youth at Adelaide Climate Action Week. By young people, for young people.

Young South Australians aged 16-25 are doing serious climate work right now, in classrooms, communities, labs, art studios and on Country. Too often that work goes unseen and unconnected. The Expo exists to change that.

Whether you’re already deep in the climate space or just starting to find your way in, if you’re a young person engaged in or curious about climate action, this evening is for you. Climate action looks different across every community, industry and creative practice and all of it belongs in this room.

What to expect:

A space lined with posters showcasing climate projects led by young South Australians

Real conversations with the people behind the work

Networking games and a collective zine-making table

Mentors from across the climate sector ready to talk about your work, your ideas and what comes next, whether that’s a new collaborator, a pathway into the sector, or simply knowing you’re not doing this alone.

The format prioritises lateral connection over hierarchy. There is no main stage and no keynote. No polished pitch required.

The exhibited posters will be captured in a permanent digital archive on the ACAW website, giving visibility to the incredible work already being done by young people across this state.

To register as an attendee select the General Admission ticket option

Want to share your climate work, project or passion area? Submit an EOI to be part of the poster exhibition by selecting the Exhibit a poster EOI ticket type.

Your poster can be about you and the climate work you’re doing, or about one specific project you’ve built, run, researched or made. This is about using your poster to inspire, teach and engage with peers who share your passion, and to catalyse more connections, projects and energy on climate action. Posters do not have to be fancy! They are a reference for discussion.

In the lead up to the Emerging Leaders Expo we will be providing support for those making posters including examples and an in person poster making a working bee, as well as being available to chat and answer any of your questions.

At the Emerging Leaders Expo there will be a designated period of time for those who have submitted posters to stand beside their poster and chat about their work as guests move through the space.

This event is supported by MOD. and the Environment Institute. We’re so grateful for MOD. generously hosting us, and for the Environment Institute’s support in bringing this event to life.

An interactive workshop with community as part of co creating SA’s statewide climate movement strategy Join us for the very first co creation workshop to help shape the South Australia’s statewide climate and environment movement strategy.

This open workshop invites everyone involved in—or passionate about— nature, biodiversity and climate to connect, collaborate and create a shared vision for a stronger movement.

Why a statewide movement strategy?

The co created statewide movement strategy brings together a diverse cohort of community members, grassroots groups, campaigners, volunteers, advocates, and organisations to create a shared vision and plan for our movement.

Through this process we

build connections and partnerships

identify our movement’s strengths and needs

define our shared priorities and goals

develop a clear, practical plan on how to achieve this together

We’ve only just started and have already had one on one conversations with over 20 community organisers, campaigners, leaders, co-design experts, strategists, and movement builders to devise the plan for this co creation process.

Join Conservation Council of South Australia and friends to be a part of the very first stage of this exciting next step for SA’s climate movement.

Share your thoughts, meet others passionate about our planet, and make a real contribution to building a stronger voice for environment and climate in SA.

Join ThincLab and the Innovation & Collaboration Centre at Adelaide University for a relaxed morning tea with a purpose, as part of Adelaide Climate Action Week.

We’ll be unveiling the South Australia Climate Action Map — a living, growing picture of who’s doing what on climate across our state, from energy and transport to waste, agriculture, and adaptation. Over good food and good company, you’ll get to explore what’s already happening in South Australia, add anything we’ve missed, and stick up one thing you’re doing (or planning to do) for the climate.

No expertise required, no pressure, just tea, coffee, conversation, and a chance to be part of building something the whole community can use. Open to the public, students, industry, community groups, and anyone curious about climate action in SA.

Join us at the Flinders Park Community Garden for a hands on gardening experience. Our community garden is a free space where anyone can pick what they need, and meet their local community in a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

This workshop will be presented by Drew Kilner from Walking Together with Kaurna, alongside Steven Hoepfner from the City of Charles Sturt.

Drew will teach us about traditional plants and their uses, health benefits and how they tie in with stories and culture. Together we will plant a brand new bush tucker garden for our community to enjoy.

All tools and plants will be provided. Please BYO gloves.

From Compliance to Competitive Advantage: Practical ASRS Climate Disclosure for SA Businesses

South Australian businesses are entering a new era of mandatory climate-related financial disclosure under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). For Group 2 entities — those with 250+ employees, $500M+ in assets, or $200M+ in revenue — obligations begin from 1 July 2026. For Group 3 entities, the clock starts ticking from 1 July 2027.

But compliance alone isn’t the goal. The businesses that thrive will be those that use climate disclosure as a strategic lever — to attract capital, manage risk, strengthen supply chain relationships, and build long-term resilience.

Join 2XE and Cowell Clarke for a practical, no-jargon session designed for South Australian business leaders, finance professionals, and sustainability managers navigating ASRS climate disclosure. Whether you’re in Group 1 preparing for Year 2 reporting, Group 2 (reporting from 1 July 2026) or preparing for Group 3 obligations, this event will equip you with the knowledge to not just comply — but to use climate disclosure as a genuine business advantage. Expect real-world frameworks, legal context, and actionable strategies you can take back to your organisation the same day.

Please RSVP by Thursday 16 July 2026.

Giving circles are all about people getting together to fund the change they want to see.

These groups of people gather regularly across South Australia and have their own ways of giving money away.

This special event brings two together to pool resources and put money into ideas, projects and communities who are ready to make a difference. For Adelaide Climate Action Week (ACAW), this means we want to know what you’d like to do to act on climate.

Tell us your climate impact idea (and we might give you $1000)

Maybe your climate impact idea or project will be awarded a gift of $1000. If you want to apply for funding, answer the relevant questions when you book your ticket.

Whatever your idea might be about, make sure it’s giving climate ;-)

We are launching with a total of $4000 thanks to the Awesome Foundation Adelaide and Humankind’s Ripple Effect (that’s 4 grants of $1000 each to start). The invitation is open to others to grow the pot (get in touch with Matthew via adelaide@awesomefoundation.org).

The giving circles involved (details below) have ways of deciding where our funds go. We will choose from the list of applications before the big day and on the morning of the event you will be able to learn about what we funded, or maybe even hear from those we fund (or shortlist).

In addition to the funds the giving circles are contributing, we are inviting people to come to the event and chip in. You will see when you book your FREE ticket that we are asking for contributions – these will all go toward an additional ‘people’s choice’ grant. Spaces are limited for this event, so if you’re keen to come and join the fun, book now.

Meet our special guest, Craig Reucassel

We will be joined by Australian writer, comedian, broadcaster and changemaker, Craig Reucassel.

Craig is known to many of us for his work with The Chaser and the game-changing documentary series War on Waste. This witty fellow will share a few anecdotes about his work in the impact sector and what he reckons a climate of giving might – or might not – mean!
