National Environmental Science Program

The National Environmental Science Program (NESP) is a long-term commitment by the Australian Government to environment and climate research.

NESP projects deliver collaborative, practical and applied research to inform decision making and on-ground action.

Indigenous research partnerships are a highly valued program activity. The National Environmental Science Program recognises there is much we can learn from Indigenous knowledge and peoples.

NESP funding of $145 million over the six years from 2015 to 2021 supports six themed research hubs, along with projects to address emerging environmental research needs. The hubs are:

- Clean Air and Urban Landscapes Hub
- Marine Biodiversity Hub
- Threatened Species Recovery Hub
- Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub
- Northern Australia Environmental Resources Hub
- Tropical Water Quality Hub

The hubs connect scientists, policy makers, industry, Indigenous people and communities.

Australia’s nature, now and into the future, is healthy and resilient to threats, understood, and valued both in its own right and for its essential contribution to our health, wellbeing, prosperity and quality of life.
