Our leaders, Professor Tim Flannery FAA and Professor Charles Hunt, together with other RMIT educators and researchers, use co-designed and local place-based methods to engender social, environmental, cultural and economic security and cohesion, through social innovation, regional collaboration and inclusive governance.
We have a deep concern for and commitment to the need for urgent, immediate and appropriate action to combat the threat and impacts of climate change; biodiversity and habitat loss; waste and pollution; and other threats.
We support our young people to develop their full potential, empower women to be active participants in economic, political and social life and recognise the importance of creating accessible services and infrastructure to enable all Pacific peoples to participate in and benefit from development outcomes.
