Annual Dinner Sponsor
The Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency is proud to support the Australia Academy of Science’s Science at the Shine Dome, and recognises the world class contribution made by Australian scientists in progressing our understanding of issues such as climate change.
Climate change science is essential in supporting the Department’s work on climate change policies and programs, which focus on three key areas:
- reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions
- adapting to the impacts of climate change we cannot avoid and
- helping to shape a global solution.
