As evidenced by the major weather events that continue to threaten communities across Australia (Cyclone Alfred, we’re looking at you), the climate crisis isn’t going anywhere. And while it’s easy to feel despondent in the face of climate change, there are incredible people and organisations taking action – harnessing modern technology, regenerative farming techniques and collective action to slow down the crisis. This month, founders, researchers, students and community organisations will be coming together in Sydney for the Harbour City’s second Climate Action Week – taking place between March 10-16. Here's everything you need to know.
The inaugural Climate Action Week Sydney (CAW.SYD) popped up in May 2024, following successful events in London and New York which saw forward-thinking people and organisations unite for seven days of education and connection. The aim is to explore solutions for accelerating climate action around the world.
Bringing together climate start-ups, community organisations, students, research institutions, investors, NGOs, corporate organisations and the broader community, the 2025 iteration of CAW.SYD will feature a program of events designed to inspire, educate and empower. Under themes ranging from policy to finance, First Nations perspectives to climate tech, the week-long event will involve talks and panel discussions on everything from regenerative agriculture to fashion.
Events will be taking place across Sydney, and many are free to attend. You can learn more and plan your week (and beyond) of climate action over here.
