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.

CSIRO launched a multi-million dollar research program in Canberra today which is designed to boost Australia’s ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

CSIRO today released a national overview of climate change impacts and adaptation options for Australian agriculture.

CSIRO Discovery presents a look at CSIRO's National Collections to celebrate 2008 National Science Week.

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.

The Climate Adaptation Flagship is developing adaptation options for Australia’s primary industry and resource sectors to reduce the vulnerabilities and enhance opportunities created by 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.

Peta Ashworth's work coordinates a range of social research projects for a number of CSIRO flagships as she and her team continually trial new and old ways to integrate social sciences into the scientific research programs of CSIRO.

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.

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