Centre for Environmental Economics and Policy

We are undertaking a range of research that is helping to increase the benefits of investment in environmental management.

The centre has two flagship projects:

Investment Framework for Environmental Resources

The Investment Framework For Environmental Resources (INFFER) is an asset-based approach to natural resource management (NRM).

Its aim is to help NRM investors to achieve the highest value outcomes with the available resources.

It covers issues such as water quality decline, salinity, biodiversity decline and pest plant and animals for the best public outcome.

Salinity Investment Framework III

The Salinity Investment Framework III (SIF3) project is working with governments (national, state and local) and with regional bodies responsible for salinity investments to bridge the gap between state-of-the-art knowledge and action.

It integrates hydrological, biological, economic and social research to help catchment managers understand how best to respond to dryland salinity in different circumstances.
