Climate, energy and disasters are crucial and growing issues for Australia and the world. The goal of the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions (ICEDS) is to advance solutions to climate change, the energy transition and disasters. The Institute initiates and supports the development of transdisciplinary research teams across ANU and drives outreach, policy engagement, facilitation and coordination of cross ANU projects with the aim of securing long-term, large-scale research funding and ensuring broad societal impact. Additionally, the Institute takes a lead role in the ANU Below Zero initiative, the University’s commitment to reduce our greenhouse gases to below zero, particularly in relation to integrating research and teaching into Below Zero.
