27 July to 2 August 2026. Around 100 events across Adelaide and regional South Australia. Open to everyone, free to organise, built on the belief that real change happens when whole communities move together.

ACAW isn't a conference. It is a statewide community-led climate action festival where industry innovators, First Nations wisdom, coastal farmers, renewable energy workers, students, policy makers, and Pacific Island communities all share the stage.

Adelaide Climate Action Week (ACAW) emerged from South Australia’s COP31 bid in 2025 — a campaign that revealed our state’s deep climate leadership but also exposed the need for a more connected climate ecosystem.

With Australia leading COP31, South Australia has something to say. ACAW is our answer — not just conversation, but action across five areas: Learn, Care, Use Wisely, Restore, and Be Ready.

First Nations knowledge and Pacific voices are central to how ACAW thinks about climate, community, and country. That’s not a footnote. It runs through everything.

IN THE MORNING

A 51-hectare public garden at the north-east corner of the Adelaide city centre, in the Adelaide Park Lands, the Botanic Gardens are a haven against the backdrop of a bustling city. Enjoy the diverse and blooming oasis, Santos Museum of Economic Botany, Waterlily Pavilion, Palm House, and so many more nooks and crannies. And once you’re done perambulating, indulge in the delicious food and wine offering at the iconic Botanic Gardens Restaurant.

IN THE AFTERNOON

Put on your walking shoes, pack your camera and get ready to explore! Whether you’re out for a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous trek, there’s always something new to discover at Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. Meander along the multitude of paths that sprawl across 97 hectares – with a surprise awaiting you around every corner. Immerse yourself in the spectacular colour, rich aromas and amazing diversity.

IN THE EVENING

Explore the historic, cultural and architectural artefacts of Adelaide along three trails. Learn all about its heritage places, including churches, high streets, and North Adelaide, some of which date to the early 1850s. Enjoy them by foot or bike!
