20.01.2022 Currently ANU directly and indirectly contributes to the emission of significant quantities of greenhouse gases (GHGs), contributing to one of the greatest challenges the world has ever faced: climate change.

This consultation is focused on seven core themes: 1.Leadership and targets 2. Energy & buildings 3. Travel 4. Behaviour change 5. Removing atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions 6. Finance, investment & purchasing 7. Integrating below zero operations with research & teaching You are invited to participate in one or both of the following ways: a.
