Carbon cycle and future warming

Clouds billowing from a factory smokestack against a blue sky background

Carbon iconThe challenge

Limiting future global climate change requires substantial and sustained reductions in net greenhouse gases emissions.

We are still determining the best way to manage the carbon budget to reduce emissions, increase carbon sinks and protect existing carbon stocks, while managing feedbacks in the climate system.

How the ESCC Hub is meeting the challenge

Improving our understanding of past greenhouse gas emissions and predicting future changes will inform Australia’s emissions mitigation policy responses.

 


The following research projects are helping to meet this challenge.

  • Carbon emissions will reach 37 billion tonnes in 2018, a record high

    06 December 2018 Pep Canadell, Corinne Le Quéré, Glen Peters, Robbie Andrew and Rob Jackson Pep Canadell is the Lead+

  • International benchmarking of Australia’s climate model

  • Understanding climate variability and extremes

  • Understanding ocean heat uptake

  • Improving accessibility of regional climate projections

  • Assessing carbon sources and sinks

  • National Centre for Coasts and Climate
