Our systems change approach holds the bar high to help key players in Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific take action at the scale needed to meet global climate goals.
The cycle of change
Our end-to-end process underpins how we collaborate and design programs. We develop agenda-setting research and apply it to specific contexts to meet stakeholder needs. We then implement our findings and empower people to create change.

Where we work
Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, yet the region stands to benefit as leaders in the transition to a decarbonised future. Climateworks has grown our presence in the region with country offices in Australia and Indonesia, while working with partners across Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Systems thinking acknowledges that structures – whether they be political, social or financial – are full of complexity and need to be examined as a ‘whole picture’. This can help us identify where interventions have the best chance to support change at scale, and where our efforts are best spent to support the ecosystem around us. System change also refers to the ambition for change that is systemic rather than incremental, and becomes lasting and self-reinforcing.
Driving systems change
Climateworks is working across four physical systems of the economy that produce emissions, and three systems that enable emissions reduction.
