Climate change presents an unacceptable risk to the wellbeing and prosperity of Australians. Using the best science to minimize threats and maximize opportunities is a national priority of international significance. We will resolve uncertainties in regional climate science via world-class research within a multi-University centre in partnership with outstanding international and national groups. Outcomes will be integrated into national frameworks, transforming the foundation for impacts and adaptation research. This will have direct economic, social and environmental benefit by improving advice to all levels of Government and the broader community on the scale, speed and timing of regional climate change
