About the Climate Change Exchange

By connecting research, policy and practice, we build cross-sectoral capacity to reduce the harm caused to our communities and ecosystems, and build more just and equitable futures for everyone.

Who we are

A collective of people and organisations supporting transformative adaptation and working for climate justice.

Get Involved with the Exchange

First established in 2019 with seed funding and including partners from RMIT University, Department of Environment Land Water and Planning, Victorian local governments and Greenhouse Alliances and Lord Mayor’s Charity Foundation, the Climate Change Exchange grew from recognition of the need for a central hub where organisations, communities and universities could access and share current research and practice to progress climate change adaptation. After a brief hiatus, the Climate Change Exchange is now being reactivated thanks to funding from Equity Trustees. It is currently hosted by Regen Melbourne, with a core team of expert contributors and a growing group of research and practice collaborators who guide and implement the activities.

What we stand for

Bridging research, policy and practice

The Climate Change Exchange supports rigorous and reflective collaboration among researchers, policy makers, practitioners and communities to help inform better policies, practices and decision making. It is a space for sharing, learning and connecting to build relationships, encourage critical thinking, challenge perspectives and enable collective and individual actions to transform systems.

We do this by:

Identifying intersectional and cross-sectoral issues to help guide strategic policy and practice on climate action

Building community and organisational capacity through sharing resources to support just climate change adaptation in all its complexity

Encouraging approaches that respect and learn with First Nations knowledges and challenges continuing coloniality in adaptation thinking
