Welcome to our TAKE2 profile page.

We’re committed to tackling climate change. That’s why we’ve made the TAKE2 pledge. Check out the work we’ve been doing to reduce our emissions and our plans for the future.

Make the TAKE2 pledge and join us in helping keep the temperature rise under two degrees.

Our pledge

Beyond Zero Emissions is one of Australia’s most respected climate change think-tanks. We produce independent research demonstrating that zero emissions is achievable and affordable now. Our work is carried out by a small staff of experts, with the help of academic institutions and a large network of volunteer scientists, engineers and economists. Eight-five percent of our researchers are volunteers.
