The world needs a rapid transition away from fossil fuels to prevent dangerous climate change. But this is just half the story of climate justice. The other half is about creating a just future and centering stories of communities and Indigenous peoples.
South Asia is amongst the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions where hundreds of millions are exposed to climate impacts. South Asia needs a rapid global transition from fossil fuels. But with a large population, socio-economic vulnerability, and diversity, South Asia also needs just solutions for communities.
Our Programs
We share stories of how South Asian communities are responding to climate change, and we advocate for South Asian climate justice through building leadership in the South Asian diaspora in Australia.

Spotlight Story
After another extreme summer across South Asia, we’re looking back at the stories that reveal how climate change is reshaping everyday life across the region. From dangerous heat and humidity to farming, livelihoods and climate adaptation, these explainers and community stories show how people are adapting to a changing climate while facing growing inequalities. They also remind us that communities have long held knowledge for living with their environments, but today's climate crisis is pushing many of these adaptations to their limits. Read these stories to better understand why climate justice for South Asia matters.
Get Involved
We are surveying South Asians in Australia about equity and inclusion in climate solutions
As South Asians in Australia we can relate to climate change through our communities’ lived experiences. Our families come from one of the world’s most climate vulnerable regions, yet where communities have contributed the least to the crisis. How we approach the problem and solutions for climate change can bring crucial insights for just energy transitions.
