What we do
We ensure that the best available science and research underpins sustainability policy and leadership in Australia.
We connect leading voices in sustainability to produce valued research on key challenges including climate adaptation, sustainable oceans and coasts, and urban sustainability.
We engage the wider sustainability community at conferences and events, leading and participating in national sustainability conversations.
Our Early Career Researcher and Practitioner Program supports emerging scholars and professionals to better tackle sustainability challenges.
Future Earth Australia acknowledges and pays respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations People, Traditional Owners of the Country on which we all reside, and who hold enduring connections to land, waters, seas, and culture. We also acknowledge and pay our respects to Elders past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, cultures and hopes of the Indigenous Peoples of Australia. We celebrate the world’s oldest continuous culture and their ongoing contributions to Australian life, identity, and culture.
