Programs and initiatives

The Department for Environment and Water (DEW) plays a role in helping South Australia prepare for a changing climate and is responsible for state-wide policy, related programs and the administration of climate change legislation.

One of our priorities is to ensure that the impacts of climate change are considered in the development of public policy across government.
