Research opportunities
ANU is unique in Australia in connecting researchers across all fields to work together on the big environmental challenges and opportunities facing contemporary society. Highly regarded internationally for connecting science and policy, ANU seeks to support sustainable use of Australia’s and the world’s resources.
The ANU Green program is working to operationalise environmental sustainability initiatives, policies and reporting at the University. Our approach integrates practical action to manage environmental impacts with our world-leading research and teaching. We aim to use our expertise to drive innovation, using the University as a living lab and demonstrator.
Areas of work include transitioning our energy systems away from fossil fuels, emission reduction programs across our operational (e.g. fleet vehicles) and non-operational (e.g. travel and waste) sources, creating a circular economy system on campus, monitoring and reporting our environmental impacts, community engagement in sustainability and climate action, climate change risk and adaptation approaches, landscape and biodiversity programs.
