Join us

Future Earth Australia is a network of universities and research institutions working collaboratively on sustainability challenges affecting our region. We coordinate and convene researchers, policymakers, community members, and industry across key sustainability research priorities. Our member institutions drive the focus and direction of our work via our Steering Committee, and help us invest in the capacity building of early career researchers and professionals working in sustainability. 

Future Earth Australia is a program of the Australian Academy of Science, giving us significant codesign, coproduction and convening power. We use this to bring together key stakeholders and research funders to enable sustainability research, engagement, and innovation with a particular alignment to the Sustainable Development Goals. Our core values are to bring together current and future leaders as we enable societal transformation. This includes a significant investment in early-career researcher and practitioner capacity building for sustainability, and a clear focus on collaborative research impact at the national level.
