What is the Climate Council?

The Climate Council is Australia’s leading climate change communications organisation. We provide authoritative, expert advice to the public on climate change, energy solutions and international action, based on the most up-to-date science available.

We’re made up of some of the country’s leading climate scientists, energy, health and policy experts, as well as a dedicated team of staff, and a huge community of volunteers and supporters who support our work. As an independent voice on climate change, we get climate stories into the media, produce hard-hitting reports, call out misinformation as we see it and support Australia’s shift to a prosperous, renewably powered economy.

The Climate Council was founded in 2013 by tens of thousands of supporters, in Australia’s largest ever crowd-funding campaign, to create a new, independent and 100% community-funded organisation in response to the abolition of the Australian Climate Commission. We provide actionable scientific information to many groups, ranging from emergency services, to farmers, schools and universities and politicians. To date, the Climate Council has produced over 80 peer-reviewed reports, briefing papers and fact sheets on extreme weather, climate solutions and international action. Our work continues to be powered by our community whose generous support underpins our success.
