Collaborating, Coordinating and Communicating
Australia’s primary industries working together on climate change
Recognising that changes to Australia’s already variable climate will present great opportunities and challenges for the nation’s primary industries, a collaborative partnership - the National Climate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries (CCRSPI) - was established in 2007.
CCRSPI operates under a mandate from the Primary Industry Ministerial Council and Primary Industry Standing Committee. CCRSPI partners are the primary industries State agencies, the Rural Research and Development Corporations, the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the CSIRO. CCRSPI is overseen by a Steering Committee whose membership is comprised of representatives drawn from the partnership.
