Climate Adaptation Flagship

The Environment Group aims to support the development of production sectors while at the same time minimising current and potential adverse environmental impacts.

National Research Flagships offer full and top-up Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships to high quality students who wish to work on a Flagship research project.

A new study will reveal whether major changes to Western Australia’s climate are due to human activities and if they will persist and intensify with increasing greenhouse gas levels.

Research into climate change, water management and managing Australia's unique ecosystems are some of the world leading CSIRO science to be conducted at the new Ecosciences Precinct at Boggo Road Urban Village, Brisbane, due for completion in 2011.

Building sustainably for a changing climate is the objective at this year's World Sustainable Building Conference, Melbourne, September 21-25, 2008.

Flagship research is ensuring that Australia is positioned to deal effectively with the impacts of climate change by providing the scientific knowledge needed to improve our ability to adapt.

Climate Adaptation Flagship research is developing and delivering adaptation options to protect Australia’s marine and terrestrial species, ecosystems and the services they provide from the impacts of climate change.

This four and a half minute video introduces CSIRO's Climate Adaptation Flagship, and gives a taste of the climate adaptation challenges facing Australia.

Australia’s farmers are our climate change 'warriors', and many of them are already meeting the challenges of climate change, with major modifications to the way they produce our food. In this podcast, Dr Mark Howden from CSIRO’s Climate Adaptation Flagship, explains how farmers are dealing with challenges such as lower rainfall and irrigation allocations. (4.51)

Dr Andrew Ash leads CSIRO's research on adapting to life in a changing climate. As the Director of the Climate Adaptation Flagship, he oversees a large and diverse portfolio of research activities across Australia.

CSIRO's Hobart laboratories provide research into sustainable marine resources and industries, climate, weather and ocean prediction, integrated coastal and oceans management as well as health and sustainable energy use.

The Climate Adaptation Flagship is seeking collaborations with universities and other potential partners to develop research programs leading to adaptation strategies to minimise and manage the impacts of climate change on human health in urban and coastal environments.

The Climate Adaptation Flagship is seeking collaborations with universities and other potential partners to undertake a regional vulnerability and adaptation study in South-East Queensland.

As the oceans change in response to our changing climate, ocean plant and animal life will also be affected. This will have an impact on fisheries.

CSIRO experts are available for media interviews to provide information about the science in the Garnaut Climate Change Review Draft Report.
