The area of sustainability is driven by academics investigating a broad range of topics, such as

Sustainability research is a strategic research area within the discipline and supported by UQ Business School. For example, the school is a long-standing signatory member of PRME – The Principles for Responsible Management Education, which is a United Nations-supported initiative – and the Business Sustainability Initiative is research hub within the school. The Business Sustainability Initiative leads the way in a rapidly changing business landscape, championing environmentally and socially conscious business practices and designing strategies for a sustainable future. Within the discipline, research is funded by competitive international grants. For instance, Professor Paula Jarzabkowski leads a research team investigating the insurance of climate-driven risks and Professor Daniel Nyberg leads a large ARC-funded project on how industries adapt to climate change impacts.
