Climate Change Wine Industry Sector Agreement 2008-2010
Monday, August 25, 2008
SAWIA is pleased to announce that it has signed the first industry sector agreement with the State Government, which will help the wine industry to play its part in achieving the overall targets set out in the South Australian Climate Change and Greenhouse Emissions Reduction Act 2007. The Act (in part) sets targets to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions within the State, promotes the use of renewable sources of energy and promotes business understanding about issues surrounding climate change.

SAWIA’s leadership on this issue will assist members to increase their awareness and understanding of the risks and opportunities arising from climate change. In due course, members will be invited to sign up in time to measure the 2009 vintage greenhouse gas emissions within the viticulture and wine production aspects of their business. While we hope that all members will embrace this initiative during the term of the agreement (2008-2010), participation is voluntary.
