Climateworks Centre CEO Anna Skarbek delivered the opening keynote address at the 2025 Forest Carbon Summit.

The approaching COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, will spotlight countries’ updated climate commitments to the Paris Agreement – their second nationally determined contributions (SNDCs).  SNDCs will set the stage for climate ambition in the next decade and strongly influence the national planning, policy and governance needed to affect change.

Climateworks Centre has launched a world-first resource to support the consistent measurement of natural capital, which fuels over half of Australia and the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).  The Natural Capital Measurement Catalogue (NCMC) is a user-friendly, open source, scientifically rigorous resource developed by Monash University’s Climateworks Centre, over four years alongside experts, industry, government and research stakeholders.

Climateworks Centre and retailer Woolworths Group have announced they will co-design a new pilot program to test incentives for farmers to measure their natural capital in Woolworths Group food supply chains.

We used to believe the world’s resources were almost limitless. But as we spread out across the planet, we consumed more and more of these resources.

As Climateworks takes on a systems change approach, new appointments are bringing subject matter expertise.

This week Australia hosted the world’s first Global Nature Positive Summit in Sydney.

Indonesia has signalled it could include blue carbon ecosystems — carbon-rich coastal and marine areas, like mangroves and seagrass — in its new climate targets.

There is no net zero emissions without nature. In 2023, that was brought to the attention of the world at COP28 in Dubai.

Avoiding climate change, halting and reversing biodiversity loss and balancing our food production goals are three interlinked and critical goals for Australia.  But is it possible to reach all of these goals at the same time?  And how can the nation achieve this?

Blue ecosystems and ocean-based sectors, such as maritime transport and offshore renewable energy, can contribute 49 per cent of Indonesia’s net zero emissions transition.

A Climateworks project exploring ocean-based mitigation has secured the involvement of leading regional figures in marine science, climate policy and environmental economics.  Professor Luky Adrianto has been appointed as chair of the Indonesian stakeholder steering committee for Climateworks’ Southeast Asia Framework for Ocean Action in Mitigation (SEAFOAM) project.
