CSIRO was the first agency internationally to link bushfire weather severity increase to climate change. As conditions become more severe, our research will be instrumental in predicting and adapting to the threats posed.
The bushfires experienced in the 2019-20 season have so far burned more than 10 million hectares of land in southern Australia, greater than the combined area burned in the Black Saturday 2009 and Ash Wednesday 1983 bushfires.
We're providing scientific knowledge to equip policy makers, industries and communities with practical and effective adaptation options to respond to climate change and variability.
We developed the National Drought Map, pulling data from government bodies around the country to give a single view of drought information.
State of the Climate 2018 is the fourth in a series of reports produced by CSIRO and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. It provides a summary of observations of Australia’s climate and analysis of the factors that influence it.
