Launch: A Decadal Plan for Australian Earth System Science

 

The Australian Academy of Science and the National Committee for Earth System Science launched the Decadal Plan for Australian Earth System Science on Monday 25 November 2025.

 

READ THE PLAN

 

New climate challenges require a new approach

Australia is confronted by a changing climate. Understanding climate risks to the economy, business and environment across Australia requires knowledge founded on Earth system science.

New challenges require a new approach in building our knowledge of predictions and projections using the best available science and ensuring uncertainties and gaps in the science are filled. This new approach must prioritise long-term national coordination, oversight, strategy and implementation.

The Decadal Plan for Australian Earth System Science makes 14 recommendations, beginning with the urgent establishment of an Australian Institute for Earth System Science. This institute should be tasked with developing, coordinating and implementing the national science required to deliver answers to nationally significant questions.

The Academy invites you to join us online for a discussion on the importance of a robust and secure future for Earth system science in Australia.
