Environment, Energy & Sustainability

The Centre works on a range of cross-cutting themes to explore and address the complex challenges that governments and societies face to respond to rapid changes in our global environment. We work across the most significant issues including:

• climate change mitigation and adaptation
• water and urban planning
• sustainable production and consumption
• the implementation of the SDGs
• the use of new and emerging technologies for environmental conservation

Our work in these domain draws upon UQ’s research expertise from a range of disciplines, providing the capacity to address sustainable development issues using a multidisciplinary, applied approach.
