Mobilising knowledge

Mobilising knowledge for action

A deeply collaborative approach to producing, sharing and implementing practical sustainability knowledge is the Sustainability Plan 2030’s most critical success factor. This domain includes the following priority areas:

  • Sustainability is integrated into curriculum to an extent that conscientiously extends, beyond a base threshold, each discipline’s (and associated professions/industries’) knowledge of the helpful and harmful impacts it has for the environmental and human systems we depend on
  • Graduates have increased capabilities to shape, lead and succeed in the careers, communities and industries of sustainable societies (year on year).
  • Sustainability research is integrated with campus operations and planning, to be an international exemplar of a sustainable community
  • The highest quality research is conducted that contributes to knowledge, action, and impact across the disciplinary and interdisciplinary dimensions of sustainability
  • Researchers make considered decisions on the sustainability impact of their research practices and activities.
  • The University has an increased understanding of sustainability from an Indigenous perspective through co-created or Indigenous-led reciprocal learning.
  • The University’s community partnerships demonstrate localised and co-created approaches to sustainability
  • The University has led or influenced discussions with precinct partners to further precinct-specific approaches to sustainability
  • The University is playing a leading and convening role on sustainability challenges and opportunities internationally, with particular focus on vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Asia and the Pacific.
