As a hantavirus outbreak makes global headlines, CSIRO researchers are investigating how these rodent-borne viruses spread and why different strains target specific human organs, like the lungs or kidneys, with such varying levels of severity.
Fall Armyworm (FAW) is a serious insect pest in food and fibre crops, with different populations carrying varying genes for insecticide resistance. Further pest movement and gene flow could increase global resistance.
The biennial State of the Climate Report draws on the latest national and international climate research, monitoring, science and projection information to describe changes and long-term trends in Australia’s climate.
A comprehensive suite of resources for managing climate change risk in Vanuatu has been unveiled today, making critical climate information readily accessible to decision-makers in government, industry and local communities.
New research sheds light on how climate change will influence the El Niño-Southern Oscillation by 2030. This has big implications for how Australians prepare for extreme weather events.
Air quality forecasting improvements will be able to provide hourly and daily information on pollutants in the air to help fire and environmental authorities, and the community.
The guide is for those interested in understanding the bushfire risk to their location, and also provides information for home builders and renovators on bushfire regulations.
Australia will develop a nationally consistent bushfire modelling and prediction capability under an agreement announced between CSIRO and AFAC.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
