Climate change is a whole-of-society challenge, but achieving a consensus on the need and means to decarbonise is difficult. Our Centre aims to help all stakeholders navigate the transition by sharing applied, policy-relevant research that is grounded in the economic and political realities of modern society.

Research themes

The Centre delivers and facilitates interdisciplinary research through four broad themes that reflect the diversity of issues associated with the energy transition.

 
Communities & Coexistence
Applies established and innovative social science methods to understand the complex social, cultural, policy and economic dimensions of energy resource developments.
Environment
Seeks to understand and reduce the environmental impacts of energy resource projects and technologies that will be critical to the energy transition.
Energy Security
Undertakes modelling and analysis to ensure energy planning meets societal objectives for the sustainability, reliability and affordability of domestic and export energy markets.
Decarbonisation
Investigates key knowledge gaps and solutions to assess opportunities and scenarios for accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy.
