Supporting climate-smart conservation decisions

May 1, 2025

Discover resources developed to support conservation decision-making under climate change, including a database of conservation options, climate situational reports, and practical adaptation guidance.

Understanding rainfall variability over Northern Australia

April 16, 2025

This fact sheet outlines research into the key factors driving rainfall variability in northern Australia, offering insights into how climate patterns affect local agriculture and land management. It also highlights ongoing studies to improve climate projections and decision-making for future planning.

Building for the future workshop

April 11, 2025

Workshop introducing a project to integrate future climate projections into building energy modelling, with insights on methods, weather files, and next steps.

Enterprise Suitability Mapping and Tasmania’s wine sector

April 7, 2025

Over more than a decade, the Tasmanian Government has worked closely with industry to support climate-smart agriculture. One standout result is the Enterprise Suitability Maps (ESM), which combine soil, climate, and crop data to guide land use decisions. This case study, developed through the NESP Climate Systems Hub, explores how the ESM has supported adaptation in Tasmania’s wine sector—and the broader enabling conditions that make climate information truly useful in practice.

Adapt Land&Sea: End-user engagement report

April 2, 2025

The end-user engagement process for Adapt Land&Sea involved 184 land and sea managers across Australia, identifying key challenges and information needs in climate adaptation. Through workshops and consultations, participants highlighted barriers to implementation, including limited institutional support. Their insights are shaping the platform’s content to provide practical, actionable resources for biodiversity decision-makers.

New insights into how Australia emerges from drought

April 2, 2025

Australia’s climate is highly variable, and understanding how the country recovers from drought is crucial for water management and climate adaptation. Scientists from the hub have identified eight distinct rainfall patterns using archetypal analysis. These patterns reveal how different regions transition between dry and wet periods, improving our ability to predict and prepare for future climate extremes.

The Indian Ocean: more than a backdrop for spectacular sunsets

March 27, 2025

While it’s smaller than the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Indian Ocean packs a punch when it comes to affecting our weather and the world’s climate. Having warmed faster since the 1950s than any other ocean, major environmental changes are occurring in the Indian Ocean. Understanding the role of a changing climate alongside non-climate pressures are important considerations for those managing the region’s vulnerable resources.
