It might say winter on the calendar, but temperatures are telling a different story – the outlook points to a few mild months ahead ❄️​🥵​

Across #Australia, we're around 3-4 times more likely to see minimum temperatures reach the hottest 20% of the historical average

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting an amazing team of Australia Awards Climate Fellows from Indonesia. The Hub ran a climate communication workshop, exploring written, visual and verbal ways to make science more accessible. Thanks to the Monas Herb Feith Indonesia Centre for the opportunity!

Humanity is facing one of its greatest challenges: the climate crisis. But there is hope – human rights provide a powerful path forward

Great to be partnering with Griffith University’s Climate Action Beacon on this research @monashuniversity.bsky.social @monashclicomm.bsky.social

Australians’ support for nuclear power ban rises despite Dutton’s best efforts to sell atomic future, survey finds Only one in two Liberal party voters are in favour of lifting the national ban, according to the National Climate Action Survey

The National Climate Action Survey, shows support for Australia's nuclear power ban is on the rise.

In 2023, the survey showed 51% of people supported Australia’s ban on nuclear energy. But in 2024 that rose to 59%.

Over the weekend, we celebrated #InternationalWomensDay – a day dedicated to the achievements of women and progressing towards a more inclusive future.

We are privileged to have Prof Libby Lester as our Hub Director. She continues to champion change across industries, communities, and cultures.

#TropicalCycloneAlfred is approaching southeast #Queensland and northern New South Wales, prompting evacuation orders for around 20,000 people.

The storm highlights the rising intensity of #extremeweather events and emphasises the need for stronger climate mitigation efforts in at-risk areas.

As extreme weather and the cost of energy dominates the headlines, knowing how to separate fact from fiction is more important than ever.

My new dark red climate stripe for 2024 shows it’s the hottest year yet These ‘warming stripes’, adopted around the world as a symbol of climate awareness, action and ambition, now include another dark red stripe for 2024.

The data is in.

2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.

More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements have been condensed into a single vital number.

Australia has just recorded its second-hottest year on record. Maybe our New Year's resolution should be to cool it on climate change? 🥵​​🎊​

How to teach climate change so 15-year-olds can act OECD’s Pisa program will measure the ability of students to take action in response to climate anxiety and ‘take their position and role in the global world’

How do you teach about climate change? Our Operations Manager, Amelia, alongside others discuss the need for climate education across the Australian curriculum that supports teachers and empowers young people to take climate action.

Parts of #VIC, #WA, #NSW, #SA and the #NT face above-average #bushfire risk this summer. Dry winter and spring conditions have primed the land to burn, and rising temperatures are adding to the danger.

It's important to stay alert and prepare a bushfire plan even if you live in a lower risk region.

For our last Changing Climate article of the year we had a chat with @sarahinscience.bsky.social about what climate change means for the future of extreme weather events
