The Climate Systems Hub is:
- maintaining Australia’s world-class capability in multidisciplinary Earth-system science and modelling
- advancing understanding of Australia’s climate variability, extremes and associated drivers, including the fundamental drivers of bushfires, drought and rainfall in the Australian region
- developing applied decision-making tools and information to inform policy and programs to prepare Australia to manage emerging risks and opportunities.
The hub is also driving coordinated research across all 4 new hubs under NESP’s ‘climate adaptation’ cross-cutting initiative to support evidence-based decision-making and improve Australia’s climate resilience.
