The Climate Change Research Network (CCR-NET) supports critically engaged researchers in working collectively to address the global challenges of climate change, and the opportunities for regenerative practices.
There are many academics at RMIT who see climate change as the major challenge of our age and have been working hard to address this through their research, education and public engagement activities. Given the seriousness of the global climate emergency and related issues such as the erosion of biodiversity and challenges to social equity, CCR-NET has been formed to support greater transdisciplinary collaboration, impact and visibility for RMIT academics.
The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network. Members may work in several of these areas.

The ambition is to foster a transdisciplinary community of research that is focused on taking action to address the climate crisis within the context of diverse places, spaces and communities in transition. Membership is drawn from RMIT and externally. Email CCR-Net@rmit.edu.au to find out more.
CCR-NET is supported by the following Enabling Impact Platforms: |
|
| Urban Futures | Researching how cities can be more resilient, sustainable and regenerative. |
| Design and Creative Practice | Applying an inventive, exploratory approach to real-world problems through interdisciplinary research, within and beyond design and creative practice. |
EIPs enable economic, environmental, societal, health and cultural impact with government, business and the community through research and innovation.
