THE “DIVERS

FOR CLIMATE” STATEMENT

We are Divers for Climate

We are a community that is deeply connected to the underwater world. We are SCUBA divers, freedivers, commercial divers and snorkelers. We are sea rangers, underwater photographers, tourism operators, scientists, and guides. Together, we have experienced a world that people who have yet to put their head beneath the waves could hardly imagine.  

But we also see change. 

We see magic.

From rising temperatures and seas to extreme weather patterns - for those of us who live and work by the sea, the impacts of climate change hit close to home.

Many of us are already taking action to protect our dive sites. But we cannot do it alone.

Together we support actions that build climate resilience in marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them., including:

Transitioning the marine tourism sector to renewable
energy and low-carbon technologies.

Providing training resources to enable tourism operators

to educate visitors about local climate impacts and solutions.

Enacting bold federal actions to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions

Delivering adaptation support to vulnerable island and

coastal communities impacted by climate change 

We call on decision makers, businesses, and individuals to stand with us to ensure a future where the underwater world can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Divers for Climate acknowledge Indigenous and First Nations people as the first custodians, scientists and explorers of the ocean, and recognise their continuing connection with the land and sea. We recognise that Indigenous people are disproportionately bearing the brunt of ocean climate impacts and must play a key role in solutions. We commit to listening to, learning from and amplifying Indigenous knowledge and wisdom in all our endeavours. Divers for Climate was inspired by and created on the land and sea country of the Gimuy Walubarra Yidinji, Yirriganydji and Gunggandji people. We pay our respects to their elders past, present, and emerging.
