Partnerships for the Goals

Thailand faces challenges with managing water quality in many of its reservoirs due to pressure from agricultural, domestic, and industrial pollution coupled with urbanization, increasing demand and climate change. The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) joined Australian experts to gain knowledge and strategies to monitor, prevent and decrease water quality impacts.

Focusing on cultural practices relating to music and sound, this project explores the role of culture in advancing the SDGs…

Music researcher Catherine Grant joins artist and scholar collaborators from four continents to explore the deep—and sometimes surprising—interplays between music, cultural sustainability, and social justice. Through case studies in Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Vanuatu, and Western Sahara, this project emphasises the potential for strong and sustainable cultural practices to advance…

The aims of this project are to investigate the occurrence and fate of microplastics (a class of contaminant of emerging concern) in treated sewage sludge (biosolids), and the effects that they may have on soils and crops. This has been done by analysing microplastics in biosolid and agricultural soil receiving…

The project was commissioned by WWF to help prioritise funds and activities for improving mangrove management and restoration globally.

This project was established as there was no data showing that wetlands were crucial for improving the water quality in the Great Barrier Reef.

This project aims to assess the ecosystem services and disservices from a constructed coastal wetland used to offset nitrogen inputs into Moreton Bay.

The goal is to monitor the restoration of a wetland through tidal inundation of an unused paddock as a pilot project to assess the feasibility of blue carbon projects.
