We’ve made it easier to find and use the climate change projections information, data and tools you need on the Climate Change in Australia website. The website now has a new look, better navigation menus, a search function and limited new content. Head to www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au to check it out!
Research, published today in Nature Climate Change, found that emissions drops during COVID-19 could soon be undone, as unchecked economic recovery would see global emissions bounce back to pre-pandemic levels.
The Global Carbon Budget, released today, has found that global fossil CO2 emissions in 2020 are expected to decline by approximately 7% in 2020.
How do researchers assess whether record temperatures were caused by climate change? They use a process called ‘extreme event attribution’. And they’ve just run an analysis for the record-breaking temperatures set in 2020.
The Australian State of the Climate 2020 report reveals a picture of long-term climate trends and climate variability. The biennial climate snapshot draws on the latest observations and climate research from the marine, atmospheric and terrestrial monitoring programs at CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology.
We developed a climate change literacy training workshop to empower our stakeholders to build capacity and understanding in using climate change information for planning and decision-making.
In early September the Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub, in collaboration with Engineers Australia and the Actuaries Institute, hosted a virtual expo to conceptually scope out how a sovereign climate risk capability for Australia could function.
New research has found that nitrous oxide from agriculture and other sources is accumulating in the atmosphere so quickly it puts Earth on track for a dangerous 3℃ warming this century.

The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub has teamed up with Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area managers to co-produce climate data that will enable them plan and respond to current and future climate impacts.
The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub has provided scientific expertise to inform the industry-led Climate Measurement Standards Initiative. The initiative has released a set of open-source scientific and technical guidelines that will provide consistent guidance on how to assess the risk of climate-related damage to buildings and critical infrastructure.
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.
Methane emissions have continued to rise over the past decade and are tracking concentrations consistent with the warmest IPCC scenario.
An assessment on the impact of warming on temperature cues for mango flowering is giving Northern Territory mango producers new information for planning for the future.
