Changing Climate
New to Surviving Australia is ‘Changing Climate’ – an interactive display that asks not how we will survive Australia, but how Australia will survive us!
Learn about the causes of climate change, what life in Australia will look like in 2040 if we don’t take action, and what you and I can do to make a difference.
- Interact with touch screens and installations to get hands-on with the science of climate change
- Discover real specimens such as species threatened by climate change and bleached coral from the Great Barrier Reef
- Watch mini-documentaries featuring Australian Museum scientists and get the low-down on the latest discoveries
- Explore the ways we can all help slow the changing of the world’s climate.
