The future of climate risk reporting: design-led approaches to improving integrity

How might we reconsider the data and information underpinning climate disclosures (and the work required to generate them), to assure robust claim making and integrity of action?

Enhancing ClimRisk: using machine learning to better predict systemic social risks from climate change

Beyond the physical and economic consequences of our changing climate, researchers are developing new ways to account for systemic, cascading risks such as geo-political unrest.

Advancing a responsible space exploration strategy for Australia

We need an understanding of the key questions being asked by Australian space science experts, as well as new methods to collect and analyse knowledge in ways that are rigorous, robust and repeatable.

Low conflict pathways to renewable energy: using predictive models to reduce social risk

We are developing new scientific methods to test ways to manage community conflict management around new technologies such as offshore wind.

Mitigating ethical risks in the development of artificial intelligence tools for intensive care settings

AI-powered tools hold great potential, but clinicians must be able to trust the explanations that AI gives for its results.
