National leadership on climate change and agriculture

National leadership on climate change and agriculture

Australia’s first National Climate Change and Agriculture Statement has arrived.

Launched by agriculture ministers on 13 July 2023, the national statement is a genuine collaboration between Commonwealth and state and territory governments.

The national statement:

  • draws on existing research and analysis and provides a ‘point-in-time’ assessment on why climate change and agriculture matters.
  • effectively presents a unified vision for climate change and agriculture; acknowledges and showcases the government-industry work already underway; and demonstrates strong national leadership.
  • it heralds a commitment by Australia’s agriculture ministers to support the sector and ensures Australia achieves its full potential as a world-leading, climate-smart producer and exporter of food and fibre.

It also includes a series of case studies that showcase climate-smart practices across Australia. These include initiatives that target increased productivity, improve resilience to a warming climate, trial low-emissions technologies, connect with First Nations communities, and highlight on-farm research and demonstration pilots, and outreach programs. 

Climate-smart, sustainable and innovative practices are key to the future of Australia’s agriculture industry.

Read about the Australian Government’s commitment to the growth of a sustainable and profitable agriculture sector and its work with industry to drive a climate change response underpinned by climate-smart practices.
