• Australian State of the Environment Report 2021

    The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) legislates a review of the state of the Australian environment every 5 years. Australia state of the environment 2021 (SoE 2021) assesses the changing condition of our natural environment across 12 themes: air quality, Antarctica, biodiversity, climate, coasts, extreme events, heritage, Indigenous, inland water, land, marine and urban.

    The SoE is designed to:

    – help shape strategy, policy and action
    – influence behaviours of individuals, communities and businesses
    – assist in assessing our actions as stewards of the Australian environment.

    The 2021 report combines scientific, traditional and local knowledge to provide a rigorous, peer‑reviewed assessment of every aspect of the environment.
