Our Research Projects
Our research spans disciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of human-environment relationships this way contributing to sustainable development.
We develop world-leading research that engages with global sustainable development frameworks, including Agenda 2030Link opens in a new window and the United Nations Sustainable Development GoalsLink opens in a new window (SDGs).
We have expertise from science, humanities and the social sciences. We believe having multiple perspectives is the best way to deliver transformative change. We also work with non-academic stakeholders.
