The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility is a unique venture established by the Australian Government in 2008 to harness and coordinate the capabilities of Australia’s researchers, to generate and communicate the knowledge decision-makers need for successful adaptation to climate change.

The Facility is a Partnership between the Australian Government Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and Griffith University, with a consortium of funding partners drawn from across the country:

• Queensland Government
• James Cook University
• Macquarie University
• Murdoch University
• Queensland University of Technology
• The University of Newcastle
• University of Southern Queensland
• University of the Sunshine Coast

Our Vision

Decision-makers have the information needed to adapt Australia successfully to climate change.

Our Mission

To generate the biophysical, social and economic information needed by decision-makers in government, and in vulnerable sectors and communities, to manage the risks of climate change impacts, by leading the research community in a national interdisciplinary effort.

Our Core Objectives

• Identify knowledge needs of end users
