Climate Research Forum

The Climate Research Forum is an opportunity to bring together researchers who are currently working on climate change at the University of Sydney, or are interested in doing so, for a day of inspiring conversations, network building and shaping the University’s climate narrative.

As one of the grand challenges named in the University of Sydney’s 2032 Strategy, tackling the climate crisis is a key research focus for the University. Academic institutions, as thought-leaders in innovation and creativity, will be most effective when we coordinate multidisciplinary research to address the complexities of achieving a just and sustainable future in a climate changed world.

The Forum will bring together researchers from across the University working on climate to:

• provide clarity about the University’s climate research ecosystem and the current climate-focused research support structures
• identify climate research strengths of the University
• build new multidisciplinary research collaborations and inspire new ways of understanding and solving complex climate challenges
  

This event is for University of Sydney researchers only. If you have any questions, please contact climate-leaders.network@sydney.edu.au.

In addition to the Forum, the broader coordination project has (1) developed a database to capture the climate research taking place across the University, which is soon to be released and (2) established the Climate Leaders Network which brings together representatives from ten key climate-focused research support structures across the University ranging from Multidisciplinary Initiatives to Faculty Centres and Networks.
