flag CSIRO plans to cut 102 jobs in its climate research unit, risking Australia’s climate prediction and global scientific leadership.

flag CSIRO plans to cut 102 full-time positions in its Environment Research Unit, including major reductions in climate modelling, threatening the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS), a key national climate model. flag Scientists warn the cuts could undermine Australia’s ability to predict extreme weather, assess climate impacts, and contribute to global climate research, potentially rendering the country’s earth systems monitoring “sub critical.” While CSIRO says climate science remains a priority and core capabilities will be retained, experts fear diminished expertise in atmospheric and oceanic research will weaken both domestic preparedness and international scientific leadership. flag Final decisions await a consultation period.
