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 lead the ANU Below Zero Initiative in research, teaching and engagement. The initiative is working to reduce the University's greenhouse gas emissions to below zero.
If ACCESS funding is reduced, Australia will have less ability to model how climate change will affect us. That means less ability to forecast how threats such as sea-level rise will play out and plan how we adapt.
Learn from ANU experts through short courses on climate, energy and sustainability. Designed for professionals, our courses offer practical skills, real-world insights and flexible study options online or in person.
Research on climate, energy and disaster-risk at ANU covers a variety of areas. We analyse the consequences on society and societal responses from different perspectives including economic, legal, sociological and political.
