Regional Climate Partnerships
The Regional Climate Partnerships are a network of regional, cross-sectoral groups delivering practical action aimed at strengthening the climate resilience of their communities, economies, and natural and built environments.
Established in 2014 to develop regional climate change adaptation plans, the network today collaborates to rapidly scale big ideas for good decision-making and mainstreaming.
Current partnerships
The active partnerships are:
- Adapting Northern Adelaide
- AdaptWest
- Northern and Yorke
- Resilient East
- Resilient Hills & Coasts
- Resilient South.
Partners vary from region to region and can include councils, regional organisations of councils, Regional Development Australia organisations, Landscape SA Boards (formerly Natural Resource Management Boards), and the South Australian government.
Climate Ready Regions Project
Building on the successes of the Regional Climate Partnerships (RCPs), this initiative aims to enhance regional climate collaboration through a new, evidence-based program.
This project has developed a new program proposal, ready for co-investment, called SA Climate Ready Alliances.

Sustainable Homes webinars
In 2023 the LGA and the Regional Climate Partnerships (AdaptWest, Resilient East, Resilient South, and Resilient Hills and Coasts) delivered a series of webinars on a range of sustainability and climate ready homes topics.
The webinars were presented by experts from Renew, who have been providing independent information on household sustainability for over 40 years.
Climate Practitioners Network
The Climate Practitioners Network facilitates regular peer-to-peer learning and collaboration between climate practitioners from the public, private, research and community sectors across the state.
The network is open to all South Australian council and State Government officers for active participation.
