Climate action research

Climate and biodiversity crises have already begun to devastate our city, state, and region. Intense heatwaves,
devastating bushfires, significant flooding, sea level rise, and extreme weather systems all impact the environment and the health and wellbeing of our society. Fuelled by extractive resource and unsustainable land use, these crises impact us all, but they disproportionately affect more marginalised communities.

As educators, researchers, and practitioners in the built environment, we are motivated to lead positive action through research and teaching. We are committed to developing practices and practitioners capable of addressing these challenges holistically and creatively.

This will require multidisciplinary approaches that integrate varied perspectives and knowledge systems. The Faculty encompasses wide-ranging expertise and we will harness this knowledge to work at the frontline of the climate and biodiversity crises.
