This Centre aims to transform understanding of past and present climate extremes and revolutionise Australia’s capability to predict them into the future. Climate extremes cost Australia up to $4 billion a year and will intensify over coming decades. This Centre’s blue-sky research will discover processes that explain the behaviour of present and future climate extremes. It will use its researchers, data, modelling, collaboration, graduate programme and early career researcher mentoring to transform Australia’s capacity to predict climate extremes. This research is expected to make Australia more resilient to climate extremes and minimise risks from climate extremes to the Australian environment, society and economy.

该中心旨在转变对过去和现在极端气候事件的理解，并彻底改变澳大利亚预测未来的能力。极端气候事件每年给澳大利亚造成高达 40 亿美元的损失，并且在未来几十年内将会加剧。该中心的蓝天研究将发现解释当前和未来极端气候行为的过程。它将利用其研究人员、数据、建模、合作、研究生项目和早期职业研究人员指导来转变澳大利亚预测极端气候的能力。这项研究预计将使澳大利亚对极端气候有更强的抵御能力，并最大限度地减少极端气候对澳大利亚环境、社会和经济的风险。
