AdaptWest Regional Climate Partnership
AdaptWest is a regional climate partnership between the cities of West Torrens, Port Adelaide Enfield and Charles Sturt, with support from Green Adelaide, aimed at enhancing climate resilience in western Adelaide.
The region faces real and growing climate challenges: hotter summers, more frequent extreme heat days, reduced rainfall, rising sea levels and increasing pressure on our natural ecosystems and infrastructure.
To help address these issues, the 3 councils have prepared a new roadmap for building a cooler, healthier and more climate-resilient Western Adelaide.
The plan focuses on 5 areas where we can make the biggest difference:
Resilient Neighbourhoods: helping communities, homes and local businesses adapt to our changing climate.
Low Carbon Region: reducing emissions and supporting households and businesses to move away from fossil fuels.
Resilient Ecosystems: protecting and growing our urban tree canopy, waterways and biodiversity.
Climate Risk and Hazard Reduction: identifying and managing climate risks to our infrastructure, coastlines and communities.
A Strong Regional Partnership: working collaboratively, securing funding and advocating for our region.
