We are developing an Evidence Platform to monitor Australia’s progress towards a prosperous, resilient, net zero future.
Over time, the Evidence Platform will provide a balanced picture of Australia’s transition. In 2026, we’re focusing on building the methodology and piloting a small set of outcomes, metrics and benchmarks selected for their impact, urgency and feasibility.
Our work is at an early stage – with development of the emissions reduction elements more advanced, and the green growth, adaptation and enabling elements still a work in progress. We are consulting on the Evidence Platform now because:
we want to track measures that are meaningful to – and actionable by – governments, communities, businesses and investors involved in climate action
we want early stakeholder input to inform the initial set of outcomes, metrics, benchmarks and data sources, and how we stage development of additional measures in future years
we think early input will help us build an enduring framework that we can efficiently replicate in future.
We see consultation as an opportunity to drive positive change in Australia’s response to climate change by including different perspectives in the preparation of our advice.
