Understanding the science of natural and human systems is a critical focus of CSIRO research in a global community challenged to find a sustainable future for societies, industry and the environment.
Understanding the complex interactions between population, resource use and the environment is a difficult task in scenario modelling, but CSIRO is helping Australia find the right path for future sustainable development.
CSIRO's urban infrastructure research skills and capabilities are focused on enhancing whole-of-life built environment performance while reducing our ecological footprint.
