The nation's top scientists have launched a mission that takes aim at the heart of the challenge facing Australia - cutting emissions while growing the economy.
CSIRO boss Larry Marshall says regions living with drought, flood and job losses don't need another challenge, and that's why the $90 million plan focuses on the farming and resources sectors that Australia is built on.
"This mission isn't just about working with the hard-to-abate industries," he said in a keynote speech to a business summit on Tuesday.
