CSIRO research tackles the challenges of climate change.

The science of tackling climate change

CSIRO is conducting research to help Australia and the world respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing climate. (32 pages)

Overview

Scientific research plays a critical role in the provision of information and advice to support decision making in relation to climate change.

A comprehensive response to climate change requires three spheres of action:

  • ongoing research to better understand the Earth's changing climate
  • adaptation to prepare for unavoidable impacts
  • mitigation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

CSIRO scientists have been contributing to the growing body of scientific knowledge about climate change globally and in the Australian region for more than 50 years.
