Since 2009 Climateworks has played an influential role in supporting critical sectors to shift to low-emissions solutions. Read our 2024 impact report

We found Australia’s combined state and territory emissions targets are equivalent to a national emissions reduction of 66–71 per cent by 2035, making the case for higher ambition at the federal level.
The Renovation Pathways project showed how a renovation wave can reduce household emissions across Australia’s climate zones. Our findings informed federal policies.
Our new transport modelling shows the benefits of diverse decarbonisation solutions for the sector and is cited in government submissions from industry and advocacy groups.
We developed criteria for ‘credible’ corporate climate-related transition plans and have built consensus on them through a working group of leading industry and finance organisations.
With the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, we created the Net Zero Academy, equipping executives and professionals to drive their organisation’s net zero transition.
For the ninth year, we upskilled current and emerging business leaders through Monash University’s BEX5200 postgraduate unit on climate change and carbon management strategies.
We provided our expertise for Australia’s Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, helping to set the bar for sustainable investment and finance practices in Australia.
Our research was cited 20 times across several chapters of the Climate Change Authority’s Sector Pathways Review, informing Australia’s future climate targets and policies
Updates to the Natural Capital Measurement Catalogue and the Land Use Trade-Offs model are helping to embed nature into net zero emissions policies and strategies.
We built impetus towards Gladstone becoming a net zero export hub, through forward-looking analysis and the cultivation of relationships with industry, government and research partners.
The Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative was cited in government policies which, combined, allocate nearly $23 billion in funding for industrial decarbonisation and green hydrogen.
Since 2023, our SEAFOAM project has shown how ocean-based action can boost Indonesia’s climate mitigation targets. Last year, Indonesia included the ocean in its draft NDC for the first time.
The 4th Australia–Indonesia Energy Transition Dialogue brought together NGOs, industry and government to discuss social aspects of a just energy transition.
We partnered with the Purnomo Yusgiantoro Centre to develop a roadmap for critical mineral processing for the low-carbon battery industry.
