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.

South Asians in Australia – Our Climate Actions
Spotlight Story
The Art and Heart gathering in Melbourne started a conversation in the South Asian diaspora about recognising green remittances as climate action. As a leading fossil fuel exporter, Australia has contributed less than 1% of global climate finance, well below its fair share. South Asian migrants provide climate care to their communities back home through green remittances, helping support communities facing recurring climate disasters. With Nepal’s redevelopment bill following the August 2026 climate disaster reaching $7 billion, the gathering also called for Australia to take responsibility for its fair share of climate finance and Loss and Damage.

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.
