ACE is a multidisciplinary partnership of 23 national and international organisations. We provide science, knowledge and understanding to help Australia meet the challenges of climate change.

We do this by understanding the crucial role played by Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in global climate, and the impacts of climate change on Australia and the world. We inform governments, the community and scientists about climate change to guide Australia’s future.

ACE is built on a strong, long-standing and productive collaboration between six core partners. It also has 17 supporting partners. Five of the supporting partners in ACE are commercial. These commercial collaborations underline the increasing recognition of the potential commercial impacts of climate change.
