Adelaide - Australia's green conference destination
Did you know South Australia is a leader in renewable energy and was the first State in the nation to proclaim climate change laws.

• It generates 48% of the nation's wind power and 46% of the grid-connected solar energy
• It has the highest uptake of solar hot water in the country and the lowest carbon footprint per household
• 20% of the city of Adelaide's wastewater is reused - and that percentage is set to double
• Adelaide is eminently walkable - and serviced by electric trams and the world's first solar-powered bus - so when it comes to getting around, our delegates' 'environmental footprints' tend to be their own.
• Our international airport is just a 10-minute drive from the city so, compared with most other cities, you'll save fuel as well as time and money.
