Our environmental impact research areas

Climate change

Climate change and variability affect almost every aspect of our lives. We are tackling the climate change challenge by improving climate knowledge and services, developing low- and negative emissions technologies and helping to build resilient communities in Australia, our region and the world.

Emissions

We are working to help Australian's reduce emissions. We focus on science and technology to quantify, reduce and capture emissions from our energy, agriculture and lifestyle industries.

Fuels

We are developing more efficient and sustainable fossil fuel technologies and helping industry to safely access and extract Australia's rich resources, including oil, gas and coal.

Plastics and recycling

Our research is helping society to do more with less by finding novel ways to recycle existing products and materials for new uses.

Sustainability

Our work is enabling our society to build a more sustainable future, helping people and our planet respond to our shared challenges.

Disaster resilience

CSIRO is delivering disaster resilience solutions across the cycle of preparation, preparedness, response and recovery.

Decarbonisation

From developing low-emissions technologies to supporting the transition to renewables and improving energy efficiency, our research is helping tackle the challenge of decarbonisation.
