Environmentally, the Earth is at a tipping point for irreversible collapse of critical biosystems due to unsustainable practices leading to pollution and climate change.
Our research leverages sustainable technologies and systems to solve national and global environmental, social and economic challenges in the areas of energy, water, food, circular economy and pollution mitigation. It is a catalyst for test-bedding, innovation and translation.
This Platform endeavours to produce impactful outcomes through the development and translation of innovative, cutting-edge solutions that are aligned with national and global priorities, including those articulated in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
