A typical course comprises several sessions, with each topic presented by a leading ANU expert in the field. They can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific audience, and can be scheduled over consecutive days or spread over weeks.

We also regularly conduct briefings for parliamentarians, policymakers and government departments on a wide range of climate related topics. Our members frequently appear as speakers at industry forums and conferences throughout Australia and internationally.

Please contact us about briefing your organisation.
