Griffith University supports the Sustainable Development Goals
Climate change exacerbates rates and impacts of violence, especially for marginalised populations. Climate violence is an emerging concept that has been used to describe the interaction of these two global crises, yet there is no unifying definition of this term available in academic literature to date. The aim of this…
The QRTN Climate Action Project, lead by EarthCheck with support from the team at the Griffith Institute for Tourism, aims to support accelerating climate action in tourism by using a data-driven approach to identify the most effective path to net zero. The project supports the Queensland tourism industry in leading…
The Green Energy Asia Network (GEN-A) aims to accelerate Asia’s green energy transition by enhancing the capacity of regional leaders to effectively engage with Chinese green technology and finance. Through GEN-A, we seek to bridge knowledge gaps, support informed decisions, and foster sustainable partnerships for a successful energy transition in…
UNCDF has recently completed a major survey targeting 1,500 individuals across 7 Pacific Island countries to assess levels of digital and financial literacy. The purpose of this program is to provide a “deep-dive analysis” of the data and produce a number of knowledge products to demonstrate its value across a…
In 2023, the Community of Practice (CoP) for Financial Inclusion was launched in partnership with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). This platform facilitates knowledge exchange and collaboration among policymakers across Asia-Pacific and Latin America, providing a neutral platform to discuss challenges and…
In cooperation with the Asian Development Bank, the Griffith Asia Institute is supporting the development of innovative finance solutions to support biodiversity and conservation, net zero transformation, and disaster risk financing in developing countries. Through a series of knowledge generation and knowledge-sharing activities, this work is contributing to the establishment…
The Griffith Institute for Tourism (GIFT) officially launched a groundbreaking project in October 2024 that addresses the intersection of climate justice and tourism. This innovative initiative aims to ensure that climate policies and tourism actions incorporate justice considerations for a just and sustainable future. The project will explore how tourism…
This research develops theory and models of atomic, molecular, and plasma physics to assist design of potential replacement insulating gases and hardware for use in next-generation power networks that may eliminate the use of SF6. In collaboration with experimental and theoretical physics and engineering researchers we seek to better…
The Queensland Quantum Decarbonisation Alliance (QDA) will bring together twenty-seven partners across academia and industry to create a world-leading quantum decarbonisation effort in Queensland. The QDA will establish seven new large-scale research teams in our State, in close partnership with PsiQuantum as they build their first utility-scale quantum…
