Our projects
Our impact-focused projects aim to improve public understanding of climate change by delivering climate information to audiences through existing media infrastructure.
Our research
Our research investigates public attitudes towards climate change, how the media reports on climate change, and how Australia currently engages and could further engage with climate science.

Thank you to our friends at the Climate and Health Alliance for their great work communicating the importance of health related outcomes of climate change. We look forward to continuing to work with them on this incredibly important, yet often underestimated piece of the climate puzzle.

What a huge year 2018 was! Our flagship program #ClimateCommunicators launched to Melbourne audiences on 7 News Melbourne & ABC News in May and we have since produced regular climate segments for weather broadcasts to help Melbournians better understand #climatechange. In 2019, this program is set to expand further into Victoria and excitingly, interstate as well! The year ahead will also see us launch Australia's first dedicated climate column in Leader Community News to 1.6 million weekly readers, providing a unique vehicle to deliver meaningful localised #climate information. None of this would be possible without the tremendous support of the Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation & Victoria's Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning who we look forward to continuing great partnerships with in 2019. And in December, Hub staff Tahnee Burgess & Stephanie Hall attended the UNFCCC's #COP24 in Poland with the official Monash University delegation where Stephanie presented our work at an official side event on the importance of effective #communication. #MonashCOP24 We hope 2019 will be even bigger as we welcome new staff and continue to grow our capacity and we look forward to working with a great community of colleagues to improve #climateliteracy in Australia.
