Research Centre Australia

About the Research Centre

Research Centre Australia is coordinated by the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance at the University of Canberra, though it involves researchers at other institutions, such as the Australian National University, University of Sydney, and University of Melbourne. Australia has a large community of people working on environmental governance and sustainability, coming from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds.

We have hosted one Earth System Governance Annual Conference (in 2015) and several smaller workshops. Our interests are wide-ranging, particular emphases include climate governance, ecological democracy, and environmental justice.
