Asians for Climate Solutions

This Groundswell grant supported AAFCS to grow Asian-Australian and multicultural leadership in climate action. The funding helped expand community organising across NSW, Victoria and South Australia, build trusted relationships through cultural and faith networks, and connect climate issues with everyday concerns like energy bills, extreme heat, food and family wellbeing. The work also supported workshops, community events and ethnic media outreach, helping more multicultural communities take part in climate conversations and ensuring their perspectives are better represented in policy and public debate.
