About Melbourne Climate Futures

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, the next few years are crucial. Leaders from around the world have recognised this pivotal moment and are calling for immediate action. More than 110 countries have now pledged to be carbon neutral by 2050. In the past few months, both China and the USA have committed to accelerating their transition to net zero emissions. Businesses are going green. And universities are strengthening research into protecting the planet from climate change.

To contribute to this global push, the University of Melbourne is launching Melbourne Climate Futures. This initiative builds on decades of research across areas such as climate change impacts in the Pacific, energy futures and bushfire resilience.

Melbourne Climate Futures brings researchers together to contribute to greater action on climate change in our region and around the world.
