The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility is a unique venture established by the Australian Government in 2008 to harness and coordinate the capabilities of Australia's researchers, to generate and communicate the knowledge decision-makers need for successful adaptation to climate change.

The Facility is a Partnership between the Australian Government Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and Griffith University, with a consortium of funding partners drawn from across the country:

• Queensland Government
• James Cook University
• Macquarie University
• Murdoch University
• Queensland University of Technology
• The University of Newcastle
• University of Southern Queensland
• University of the Sunshine Coast

A ten member Advisory Board oversees and guides the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility.
