Southern Adelaide Residents Talk Climate Change

In late 2017, we developed a public survey to understand community attitudes, knowledge and behaviours relating to climate change so that we can deliver services aligned with community needs.

The Cities of Onkaparinga, Marion and Holdfast Bay have all surveyed their communities and Mitcham plans to very soon.

Survey questions were adapted from the CSIRO Attitudes to Climate Change Survey conducted annually for five years from 2010. This allows us to benchmark results against national averages and to track changes within southern Adelaide over time.
