We are connected to many international bodies, either on our own account or as Australia's representative. Through these international bodies, our researchers participate in international working groups, conferences and collaborative projects.

The organisations with which we participate are too numerous to provide an exhaustive list, but some examples are below.

The Belmont Forum

The Belmont Forum is a group of high-level representatives from agencies and organisations that have a major portion of their responsibilities directed to funding global environmental change research. The Belmont Forum aims to work proactively and on an action-oriented basis to enhance cooperation and coordination of global environmental change research.

In October of 2009 the Belmont Forum became the Council of Principals (CoP) for the International Group of Funding Agencies for Global Change Research (IGFA), replacing the group formerly known as the Steering Committee. With that new role, the Belmont Forum/IGFA CoP became the high-level decision making body for IGFA.

CSIRO is the Australian representative organisation on the Belmont Forum.
