The report from an inquiry into the Northern Basin Toolkit, a package of measures aimed at maximising environmental outcomes in the northern Murray-Darling Basin. The report finds the toolkit has severely underdelivered on its environmental commitments, with key infrastructure projects falling drastically short of their original targets. It makes seven recommendations.

The National Climate Action Survey is the first representative nationwide survey asking about experiences with the Reef, emotions about climate change related damage to the Reef, and other threats to the Reef. This report presents these results, providing insight into Australians, their nature super star and climate threats.

Australia's Safeguard Mechanism – designed to cut industrial climate pollution – is up for review in 2026–27. This new modelling shows the scheme is on track to fall well short of Australia’s 2035 climate target unless urgent reforms are made. The report finds that the scheme is being gamed by coal and gas corporations.

Australia’s sustainability transition is being reshaped by global uncertainty, heightened climate impacts and rapid economic transformation. In this environment, the challenge is not only setting ambition, but creating the conditions that enable confidence, consistency and momentum. This paper examines how standards are supporting this shift from policy intent to real‑world outcomes.

The plan sets out how Australia will halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. The plan highlights work supporting Australia’s 6 targets to address biodiversity decline and 3 enablers of change to drive the transformational action needed to achieve them. It identifies areas where more work is needed, and outlines the approach to monitoring and reporting.
