Global member collaborations
SDSN AusNZPac members have collaborated with the global SDSN, SDG Academy and SDSN networks outside the region and globally on a number of flagship initiatives, including:
- Critical Development Perspectives: A collaboration between the SDG Academy and the University of Queensland, this free online course provides insights into the different perspectives and trends facing development workers.
- Managing Innovation and New Technologies in the Extractive Industries: This free online course, a collaboration between the SDG Academy and Queensland University of Technology, shows participants how to sustainably apply innovation and R&D in the extractive industries.
- Tracking Spillover Effects: The University of Sydney is collaborating with SDSN’s SDG Transformations Center to support understanding, measurement, and management of international spillover effects (which occur when one country’s actions generate benefits or impose costs on another country).
- Net Zero on Campus: SDSN, in collaboration with the Climateworks Centre and Monash University created a guide and toolkit to help universities and colleges accelerate their climate action plans
- Changing Behaviour for Sustainable Development: A free online course from the SDG Academy and BehaviourWorks Australia at Monash University how behavioural science can help to solve the SDGs and other challenges faced by society today.
- ASEAN Green Future: A multi-year research project involving the SDSN, the Climateworks Centre, and nine country teams from across Southeast Asia, to develop capacity for quantitative and qualitative climate policy analysis and charting net-zero pathways in ASEAN that support the strategic foresight of policymakers.
- Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition: Representatives from the University of Queensland, Curtin University and Monash University are part of this global, high-level body of engineers and energy systems experts aiming to advise the UN Secretary-General’s on engineering pathways to achieve comprehensive decarbonization by mid-century.
- Land Use Futures: Led by ClimateWorks Australia, Deakin University and CSIRO, the project aimed to develop integrated pathways and roadmaps for sustainable food and land use in Australia. The project contributes to the global Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land Use and Energy (FABLE) Pathways Consortium, and initiative of SDSN and IIASA with many partners.
- Pathways to Deep Decarbonisation in 2050: How Australia can prosper in a low carbon world: ClimateWorks Australia and the Australian National University (ANU) led Australia’s participation in SDSN’s global Deep Decarbonisation Pathways Project (DDPP), which developed localised long-term decarbonisation pathways that are consistent with the internationally agreed 2°C target by 2050.
