    The people backing year one

    Every name and logo on this page is part of building something South Australia hasn't had before. Year one runs on people who showed up before there was proof it would work.

    President of LGA South Australia, Mayor Heather Holmes-Ross, said councils across the state were reducing emissions, building resilience and helping communities prepare for the future.

    "If you want to see climate action in practice, look at local government."

    "It's the shade from a street tree on a hot day, the flood resilience of a local road, the solar panels on community facilities, and the choices we make about the places we love."

    "Adelaide Climate Action Week is a chance to showcase what's working, learn from each other and inspire even greater action across our state."

    "We're proud to be a Founding Presenting Partner of a festival that is bringing people together to move from climate ambition to climate action."

    — Mayor Heather Holmes-Ross, President, LGA South Australia
