In 2015 the State Government and Adelaide City Council committed to a joint aspiration for Adelaide to be the world’s first carbon neutral city. We signed a sector agreement to formalise that collaboration, and released a shared vision document that outlined our direction and priorities for pursuing our goal.
In this Carbon Neutral Adelaide Action Plan 2016–2021 we outline specifically how we plan to make Adelaide the world’s first carbon neutral city, by building community partnerships and focusing on five pathways to carbon neutrality.
Through Carbon Neutral Adelaide partners, we will empower our community to build upon its internationally significant achievements between 2007 and 2015 which resulted in a decoupling of economic growth and operational carbon emissions.
