Australian scientists are at the forefront of building understanding of climate change, particularly as it affects Australia and the surrounding region.
Research work funded by the Australian Government and carried out by our leading climate change scientists over the past 15 years has proven a great investment. Today, climate change science demonstrates conclusively that human activity is changing the Earth’s climate system.
This publication documents the achievements of our scientists since 1989. This in turn has increased Australia’s capacity to both respond to climate change locally and to contribute soundly to the ongoing international climate change efforts.
The Australian Government recognises the world class contribution made by Australian scientists in progressing our understanding of climate change and its impacts on the southern hemisphere.
This publication is designed to complement its partner publication Australian Climate Change Science Programme – Strategic Research Agenda 2004-2008.
