Access to high resolution climate data across Australia has transformed how we understand the risks ahead. Yet as researchers work with increasing levels of detail in the data, they’re discovering important knowledge gaps; signals that suggest our current projections may not be capturing the full spectrum of possible futures. Understanding other plausible futures matters. Preparing Australia for climate risk means looking beyond the conventional outlooks and asking: what might we be missing?

In this upcoming webinar, Hub researchers will unpack what we know with confidence, where uncertainties remain, and why a range of possible futures should be considered. Participants will hear how scientists are exploring climate futures outside the currently modelled range, and how this work is helping decision-makers think more broadly and plan more robustly.

Our speakers will take a deeper dive into two critical emerging themes. First, they’ll examine how real world observations of Pacific Ocean warming differ from modelled projections and what those differences may mean for Australia’s future climate. Second, they’ll explore what current research tells us about global temperature overshoot scenarios and the implications for risk assessment and resilience planning. Together, these perspectives offer a clearer, more nuanced picture of the challenges we need to be ready for.
