Science and Technology Australia has welcomed the Government’s announcement that CSIRO’s climate science capacity will be expanded.
“Climate science is important, and Australia’s geographic position and capabilities mean it is uniquely positioned to make significant contributions to the world’s body of knowledge in this critical area,” said STA Chief Executive Kylie Walker.
“We commend further investment in climate science and welcome any measures to strengthen and stabilise CSIRO and its capacity to continue to conduct world-class science, and its translation for the benefit of the community.”
Speaking to SBS, Ms Walker also commended the Chief Scientist’s leadership towards a strategic roadmap for investment in Australia’s scientific infrastructure.
