Case study
The ESCC Hub is providing world-class climate change science to Australia’s decision-makers, bringing together climate, atmosphere and ocean researchers to address national climate challenges.
Managing the impacts of our changing climate
Responding to Australia’s changing climate requires accessible climate science that:

World-leading climate science
The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub is undertaking research to ensure that Australia's policies and management decisions are effectively informed by Earth systems and climate change science, now and into the future.
The Hub's research portfolio contains a range of projects that aim to:
We are using modelling, simulations, projections and analyses of observations to expand our understanding of Australian's climate drivers and ensure that we can provide robust, accessible information to next-users and end-users.
The Hub is a partnership of Australia’s leading Earth systems and climate change research institutions:
The Hub partners have provided much of the science-based evidence informing Australia’s climate-related policies and decisions for over three decades.
Science to inform decision-making
The ESCC Hub will deliver climate science-based information and services that are tailored to meet the needs a range of stakeholders, including the research community, the private sector, non-government organisations, Indigenous communities, and policy and decision-makers from all levels of government.
The ESCC Hub is one of six multi-disciplinary research hubs delivering world-class science to support decision makers in Australia through the National Environmental Science Programme (NESP) .
The NESP is a long-term commitment by the Australian Government to support environmental and climate research, with a focus on delivering science that will inform on-ground action and yield measurable improvements to the environment.
The NESP will build on its predecessors – the National Environmental Research Program and the Australian Climate Change Science Programme – in securing for decision makers the best available information to support understanding, managing and conserving Australia’s environment.
We partner with small and large companies, government and industry in Australia and around the world.
