Environment, Climate Change & Indigenous Science

Overview

Through inter-disciplinary research, the Risk, Resilience and Sustainability team contribute new knowledge about the magnitude and complexity of challenges in human-environment relations; their causes; and the likely political, economic, and social consequences.

In turn, we develop practical responses that aim to support the development of resilient, adaptable, and sustainable communities.
