In this webinar, our presenters provide an overview of the Climate Measurement Standards Initiative, including financial disclosure of climate risks and key acute and chronic climate hazards that can be important for exposure of infrastructure and other sectors.
In this webinar, Dr Carly Tozer (CSIRO) discusses the outcomes of the ‘TasLab Engage’ case study which collected valuable Tasmanian stakeholder information to contribute to the development of multi-year to decadal forecasts for Australia. Carly will discuss the stakeholder engagement process, key findings and new understandings about the decisions stakeholders make on annual to multi-year timescales that can be influenced by climate outcomes.
Understanding trends and changes in erosion rates for coastal locations is important for informing coastal management and planning activities. The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub is investigating shoreline change in Victoria through the National Centre for Coasts and Climate. Historic shoreline change for nine coastal areas in Victoria was investigated, with results summarised in a series of location-based fact sheets.
Climate change may actually increase the number of burn days in some places, but the windows of opportunity will shift towards winter months. The bad news is that burning during these months potentially increases the public health impacts of smoke.
In this webinar, ESCC Hub leader Professor David Karoly uses the Hub developed climate toolkit to provide an overview of why and what climate change information can be used for informing robust risk and impact assessments. David also discusses how and when to use climate information in decision making, using a number of current Hub case studies and engagements as examples.
The climate services sector in Australia has changed rapidly over the last few years. This study maps the current climate services capabilities in Australia, capturing information from both providers and users of climate services.
New Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub research shows that the number of lows in southern Australia during 2019 was about half the number we expect in a normal year and the fewest recorded in at least 50 years.
New Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub research published in the Journal of Climate investigates how we can better understand which east coast lows cause the most severe impacts.
ESCC Hub research have examined the impact of global warming on the frequency of dry conditions over Australia, and how ENSO and global warming combine and interact to cause the dry conditions.
In this webinar, Mandy Hopkins (ESCC Hub) and Maddison Clonan (NT DPIR) talk about how an assessment of the climate change impacts on the NT mango industry was carried out, what they found, how it can inform the industry and how the assessment process can be applied to other commodities and sectors.
COVID-19 has affected global emissions in six economic sectors, with a significant decline in daily global emissions. Total daily emissions in early April were similar to those observed in 2006.
The March 2020 workshop ‘Knowledge Exchange: Services and Science Supporting Climate Action’ aimed to share information between EU and Australia to inform best-practice approaches to developing a national climate intelligence capability for Australia. The workshop report is now available.
In this webinar, ESCC Hub researchers Dr Michael Grose and Sugata Narsey will summarise and highlight the Hub’s analysis and studies of the CMIP6 climate model simulations just released, with a focus on climate projections for Australia.
Hub researchers have developed a conceptual cost-benefit framework to measure the economic value of the Hub’s research outputs to the Australian economy and society more generally.
In this webinar, ESCC Hub researcher Professor Nathan Bindoff (University of Tasmania) summarises and highlights the significance of key findings from the IPCC Special Report on the Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate for the oceans and polar regions, and for Australia.
