Climate Action Week Sydney 2026 is now open for event host submissions. After the success of CAWSYD2025, we are extending an invitation to organisations, community groups, leaders, and practitioners to participate in shaping next year’s program, taking place 9–15 March 2026.

CAWSYD2025 demonstrated the strength of Sydney’s climate community. Across the week, hosts delivered a wide range of events highlighting climate solutions, innovation, research, governance, justice, and community action. These contributions formed the backbone of the program and helped drive meaningful conversations across the city.

For a full reflection on this year’s impact, you can access the CAWSYD2025 Impact Report.

Invitation to Participate in CAWSYD26

We are now accepting event submissions for CAWSYD26. Hosts who submit their events by the end of 2025 will be included in the printed broadsheet program, scheduled for release on 4 February 2026.

Whether you plan to return with a refined version of your previous event, develop an existing concept further, or introduce a completely new idea, we welcome your involvement in building the 2026 program.
