Net Zero

Leading the pursuit of Net Zero

Monash is bringing together our leading capabilities to initiate, develop and activate change through a range of multi-disciplinary projects striving to achieve Net Zero emissions for ourselves and others.

Net Zero Initiative

Monash is proud to be the first Australian University to commit to Net Zero emissions by 2030, based on our ‘Net Zero Initiative’, a plan prepared by Climateworks Centre.
Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI)

Bringing together the best thinkers and doers from across Monash, academia, industry, government and the community in transdisciplinary partnerships, the Monash Sustainable Development Institute helps tackle some of the biggest global challenges of our time, by transforming knowledge into practical and real-world solutions.
Monash Microgrid

As Australia's largest University, we recognise the need to innovate sustainable, new ways to power our campuses, so we have built our very own Microgrid at Clayton Campus whilst embarking on many other Net Zero initiatives. Our microgrid will be able to receive and store energy from various renewable energy sources and assist us reduce demand and strain on the network.
Monash Energy Institute

Monash Energy Institute is working to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable energy future by fostering and facilitating impactful interdisciplinary research, in collaboration with its trusted partners.
Monash Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (ARC)

Monash Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (ARC) is transforming Australia’s capacity to predict climate extremes by understanding and predicting climate extremes via a critical mass of researchers, new data, innovative modelling and collaboration.
Climate, Air Quality Research (CARE)

Monash University’s Climate, Air Quality Research (CARE) unit seeks to understand the links between climate change and air pollution and the impacts on public health, and facilitates future planning for health policy and services by modelling the impact of unmitigated climate change on health.
Monash Engineering Sustainability Statement and Action Plan

A commitment and action plan to design the engineering technology needed to create profound change in our systems and help the broader community adapt to cleaner, safer alternatives, through research and partnerships.
Climateworks Centre

Founded by Monash University and working within the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, Climateworks Centre is bridging the gap between climate research and action and is catalysing action towards net zero within Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
International Universities Climate Alliance

We are part of the International University Climate Alliance, an alliance of leading research universities in climate research and a central hub for universities to share the latest climate research with the public and enable greater collaboration between leading research teams, supporting global leaders, policy makers and industry in planning for and responding to climate change.
