Answer

After the Climate Commission was abolished in 2013, the former chief commissioner Tim Flannery and other sacked commissioners formed the independent Climate Council to continue their work on climate change research and policy. The council has a board of directors that includes scientists, business leaders, and environmental activists. The council's mission is to provide independent, evidence-based advice on climate change to the Australian government and the public.
