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.

Connecting Solutions – Australia and South Asia
Spotlight Story
As Australia's second largest and fastest growing migrant group, we South Asians need a space where we can talk about what is at stake for us and our communities. As migrants from South Asia, we continue to support and care for our communities back home. We also carry with us values, cultures, practices of sustainability from South Asia, and try to give them expression in our new home in Australia. At Sapna, we are creating a space where South Asian migrants in Australia can talk about their climate stories and actions that span across both Australia and South Asia. And practices and knowledge of sustainability that we carry with us, which could inform what just climate solutions look like today. Watch the full video on our webpage.
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.
