Many countries in the Asia & Pacific region are incredibly vulnerable to climate impacts, particularly our Pacific island neighbours and low-lying Asian nations

Food systems are complex, dynamic, and comprise many different interacting subsystems, that food system policies often fail to recognise.

There are strong inter-relationships between climate change and biodiversity.

It's becoming apparent that reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is unlikely to be enough to prevent dangerous climate change.

Researchers in this group are focused on institutional responses to climate change, covering reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change adaptation.

In the absence of transformative action by governments, many in the business community are charging ahead with action on climate, energy and disaster solutions.

Research on Earth systems considers processes of the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, biosphere and solid Earth, along with their interactions.

Expertise in energy economics and policy at ANU is concentrated in the Crawford School of Public Policy and the Research School of Economics.

Short-term energy storage is becoming increasingly important to smooth out peaks of high energy demand and low energy supply

As the world has warmed, due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, there has been a marked change in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.

Fusion is the process that powers the sun and stars. It has the potential to deliver effectively limitless, clean, base-load power for future generations.

Addressing climate change will have numerous health benefits for our society.

Hydrogen has the potential to provide the missing link between renewable energy - such as wind and solar power - and industrial energy users that have yet to fi

The knowledges and cultures of Indigenous peoples, damaged and dismissed by the colonial project, bring country-centred perspectives to mitigating and managing

Industrial decarbonisation is a new research cluster, and the parameters are currently in development.

Law, governance and institutions (LGI) produce, direct, and are disrupted and reshaped by climate change, energy supply chains, and disaster risk and response.

Cities’ transformation towards low-carbon and climate-resilient future is a long-term and multi-dimensional process.

The arts can provide powerful ways to challenge, inform and engage people in conversations about global challenges.

Research into renewable fuels at ANU takes place across three research schools.

This cluster will include governance, policy and planning, hazard and risk assessment, PPRR at all levels, and a community focus.

Exploring the relationships between human security and climate change, the energy transition, and disaster risks.

In the future, the electricity grid will feature millions of intermittent and distributed generation sources.

Photovoltaics research at ANU is at the global cutting edge, spanning the entire spectrum of solar electricity technologies.

Our research encompasses basic sciences, engineering and techno-economics for development and advancement of solar thermal and hybrid energy conversion.

Transport is the second largest source of carbon emissions in Australia after electricity production. 

Climactic changes are leading to changes in water cycles, with droughts and floods become more intense and severe.
