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
This video highlights milestones from Sapna’s five-year journey. As we look back, we can see why we needed to build a transnational climate justice project. That brings stories from the ground from South Asia of how communities are living with climate change; and mobilises a movement of South Asians in Australia who advocate for Australia’s climate responsibilities towards South Asia. South Asians are Australia’s largest migrant community. We are crucially poised right now to build a movement of South Asians in Australia who care about climate justice. Read about the global gathering we hosted as Sapna turned five 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.
