Providing an overview of the latest research, innovation and analysis in climate change, the energy transition and disasters solutions.

The ANU Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions’ (ICEDS) professional short course program brings climate, energy and disaster decision-makers together with ANU researchers to discuss recent advances in climate science, the energy transition, and disaster-risk science in the context of real-world scenarios.

ICEDS short courses explore the social, environmental and economic aspects of climate change, energy change, and disaster preparedness/response, including the challenges and opportunities for policy makers and practitioners across our Asia-Pacific region and the world.
