The Climate Institute was established in 2005, inspired by a clear understanding that the climate challenge demands a whole-of-society response.
By seeking a majority of our support through
private philanthropy, the organisation maintains the necessary independence and freedom to provide truthful analysis and an objective perspective unencumbered by vested interests.
Our vision is for a resilient Australia, prospering in a zero-carbon global economy, participating fully and fairly in international climate change solutions.
We produce and communicate research in
three key areas: international accountability, economic transformation and societal leadership.
Climate change is the most formidable global challenge of our era, requiring solutions at every scale. To be most effective, we employ a
collaborative approach across business, community and government.
Articulating a response that is both positive and pragmatic is also a core objective of our work. Increasingly, we are using
interactive tools, videos, social media, and most recently the work of our
Creative Fellow, photographer Michael Hall, to bring a human face to the climate change story.
