This project examined how travellers interpret environmental claims communicated by hotels and how these claims shape perceptions of credibility, trust, and sustainable accommodation choice. The research comprised a qualitative study of green hotel communication, focusing on messages conveyed through in-room signage, hotel websites, and promotional materials, alongside visible environmental cues… Read More

The Accessing Climate Finance (Regional) program was designed to strengthen the capacity of professionals from South Asia and Mongolia to navigate the complexities of climate finance and drive sustainable development. The course focused on integrating climate finance into national adaptation and disaster risk reduction planning, designing inclusive and effective initiatives,… Read More

At COP26, Vietnam and Australia jointly committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. Both nations face similar energy transition challenges, with strong reliance on fossil fuels despite abundant renewable energy resources. Australia, a major coal exporter to Vietnam and a potential LNG supplier, remains a trusted energy partner. The… Read More

The iKnow, weKnow project aims to co-design a toolbox of innovative, community-based approaches for managing water and energy in remote First Nations communities. This project will integrate digital and non-digital tools to develop an innovative suite of approaches, rigorously tested and evaluated, and deeply rooted in Indigenous pedagogies. These tools… Read More

This Australia Awards Short Course focused on the environmental sustainability, urbanisation, climate change, energy usage, water management and food security challenges for all cities. Twenty-five participants from across Indonesia travelled to Australia for two weeks as part of the short course, equipping them with important knowledge and principles required to… Read More

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… Read More

Although foreign direct investment (FDI) allows emerging market firms (EMFs) to experience various institutions and learn to innovate, we know little about the] effects of exposure to diverse institutions on EMFs’ environmental innovation—a sustainable approach to pursuing economic growth. Incorporating the institutional logics perspective with the learning-from-diversity… Read More

Implementing offshore hybrid renewable energy systems have strong potential to accelerate our transition to a net-zero economy. However, there is a lack of a systemic and autonomous spatial approach to evaluate the potential sites for coupled wind and solar, considering multi-criteria covering environmental, technical, economic and social aspects. This project… Read More

Energy transition has the potential to improve the lives of those able to access the resultant infrastructure and services. The risk of sub-sectors of the community being excluded from energy transition benefits is very real and requires well-crafted interventions by government and the commercial sector to avoid exclusion. This Australia… Read More

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… Read More
