Australia’s Strategy for Nature 2024–2030: implementation plan
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.

Evaluation
Murray-Darling Water and Environment Research Program end-of-program evaluation
This evaluation found the Murray–Darling Water and Environment Research Program delivered high‑value, policy‑relevant research that strengthened Basin management and supported water reform. It makes 7 recommendations, emphasising continued investment in research adoption, integration and long‑term funding to build an enduring research ecosystem and ensuring the Program’s full benefits are realised under future Basin challenges.
Assessment
Australia’s national climate risk assessment
The report provides a synthesis of key findings from Australis's first national climate risk assessment. It provides an assessment of risk across 8 key systems and 11 regions, prioritising key risks both within each system and across systems. This approach provides an understanding of who or what might be at risk across different areas of...
