ANU Climate News & Events

March 2019
Dear reader

With the news that this summer has been Australia's hottest summer on record, we're featuring a number of articles and events about how we can adapt and respond to climate change in future.   These include what our commute to work will look like, how our farming practices and energy systems need to change, how we can improve our health by acting on climate change and how we can better prepare for extreme events.   

I'd also encourage you to read this story "We could be among the world's climate change winners" which succinctly highlights how responding to climate change can provide economic opportunities for Australia.     

Regards,

Professor Mark Howden
Director, ANU Climate Change Institute
