SoE

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 assesses the changing condition of Australia's 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; and assist in assessing our actions as stewards of the Australian environment.
