CSIRO’s Environment Business Unit brings together capabilities in marine, atmospheric, water and terrestrial environment disciplines, as well as significant social and economic research, to align and support the nation in creating a better and more sustainable future. Partnering with a variety of internal stakeholders across the organisation, as well as other external R&D, government, university, industry and community stakeholders, together, we are addressing Australia’s biggest environment challenges by translating complex science into essential decision ready information and tools.

In line with this, ‘Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP)’ is one of CSIRO’s essential areas of research, and our team specialises in combining innovative social processes with robust data-driven tools, integrated assessments and approaches, to assist policy, business and infrastructure planning and material decisions in accelerating innovation in cities and ways to influence consumer behaviour.

Your research will be used for creating a better understanding of the importance of economic processes of consumption and production for environmental outcomes, and decision making in several key areas of environmental economic policy, including achieving net zero emissions and a circular economy.
