About the organisation
Beyond Zero Emissions is an independent think tank. We show how Australia can prosper in a zero emissions economy through ambitious research, influential engagement, and compelling communications.
We publish credible, non-partisan research on emissions reduction pathways that unlock economic, environmental and social benefits for industries, regions and communities.
We combine expert research with deep industry engagement - and showcase real-world examples in regional communities to influential leaders.
We build public understanding for a zero emissions future that's in our individual, economic and national interests. This includes popularising the benefits of decarbonisation, as well as solutions that address key concerns in cities and regions currently economically-reliant on fossil fuels.
Beyond Zero Emissions is the only Australian think tank powered by a wide network of volunteers that willingly give their expertise in engineering, science, economics, business, finance and communications to create climate solutions alongside our expert staff.
