About Us

The Centre for Environmental Governance (CEG) is a vibrant research centre located within the Faculty of Business, Government and Law at the University of Canberra. Increasingly, complex environmental problems such as water management, natural disasters and climate change demand fit-for-purpose policy and governance responses. We deliver research that enables equitable and inclusive transformation of natural resource management and environmental governance in a changing climate, to support environmental health and human wellbeing. Our researchers encompass public policy, environmental law, regulation and governance, natural resource management, resilience and adaptation, ecological economics, modelling, systems mapping, big data, the science-policy interface, democratic participation, political science and public administration. This diversity facilitates contemporary environmental governance approaches, allowing us to bridge theory and practice to deliver research outcomes with impact.
