While we work on a local level to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts, we also understand that responding to climate change requires regional, state and nationwide collaboration. Hence, Alexandrina Council is part of a larger network of Councils:

• Resilient Hills and Coasts : a collaborative, cross-sector partnership between councils, Landscape Boards, Regional Development Australia and the South Australian Government, working to strengthen the resilience of our communities, economies and natural and built environments to a changing climate. The partnership developed the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island region of South Australia, and is now implementing the plan.
• Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership: a network of Australian councils committed to tackling climate change. This program aims to help councils reduce their emissions, switch to cleaner energy and build greener, efficient and more resilient communities.
• Climate Emergency Australia: a network of Australian councils that have declared a climate emergency. By early 2023, over one hundred local governments around Australia have organised around the current climate emergency, representing more than 11.4 million Australians calling for a rapid shift to a more resilient, zero-carbon society. Climate Emergency Australia advocates on behalf of its members and builds the capacity of Australian councils to govern in a climate emergency.
