What is the South Coast Climate Dashboard?

The South Coast Climate Dashboard brings together vital information about the local climate, its impact on our community, and actionable steps for positive climate action. It goes beyond a traditional website, serving as a dynamic platform for informed decisions and meaningful collaboration.

Why was it Developed?

The development of the South Coast Climate Dashboard was initiated by South Coast Alliance Inc., a collaborative Alliance made up of the City of Albany and Shires of Denmark, Jerramungup and Plantagenet. This valuable community resource is a commitment to sharing crucial climate change information, building momentum for collective action, and showcasing how individual choices can create a positive impact.

The South Coast Climate Dashboard has been made possible thanks to funding from Lotterywest and collaborators: Fitzgerald Biosphere Community Collective, Green Skills, Gondwana Link, Marine Energy Research Australia, Oyster Harbour Catchment Group, Stirling to Coast Farmers, Torbay Catchment Group and Wilson Inlet Catchment Committee. It stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared commitment towards a sustainable future.
