About Us
About ICEDS
We connect people with climate, energy & disaster-risk research from The Australian National University. Our goal is to advance innovative solutions to address climate change, energy system transitions and disasters. We facilitate integrated approaches to research, teaching and policy, industry and community engagement across disciplines. We also collaborate closely with ANU Environmental Sustainability to support operational climate action that aims to reduce the University's greenhouse gas emissions to below zero and strengthen climate adaptation across campus.
Our Institute consolidates and builds on the activities of the former ANU Climate Change Institute, Energy Change Institute, and Disaster Risk Science Institute.
ANU colleagues involved in Climate, Energy or Disaster Solutions are warmly encouraged to join ICEDS.
