Energy and environment snapshot: We support policymakers in addressing Australia’s key environmental and energy challenges.
Advancing solutions to energy and environmental challenges begins with evidence-based policy, fostering solutions-oriented collaboration to unlock opportunities in clean energy, green technology and energy capture, and climate adaptation.
We work closely with policymakers to identify their challenges and leverage university expertise to develop innovative solutions that drive progress. By bringing together key stakeholders, we identify strategies that enhance environmental outcomes, support long-term sustainability, and create lasting benefits for all Australians.
