Established in late 2005, The Climate Institute is an independent research organisation. Our vision is for a resilient Australia, prospering in a zero-carbon global economy, participating fully and fairly in international climate change solutions. Research in three areas - international accountability, economic transformation and societal leadership - is our core work. But it is our role as a translator that enables us to focus attention on critical issues and foster the understanding and support necessary for a transition to a zero-carbon Australia.
