The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course (called Life Course Centre or LCC) is investigating the critical factors underlying disadvantage to provide life-changing solutions for policy and service delivery. The aim is to identify the drivers of disadvantage, characterised by the spread of social and economic poverty within families and across generations, and to develop innovative solutions to reduce disadvantage. |

| Future Earth Australia |
Future Earth Australia, hosted by the Australian Academy of Science, has undertaken an ambitious process of consultation across the Australian landscape of urban practitioners, researchers, stakeholders and communities to produce the Urban Systems Transformation Decadal Plan. Based on the vision Australians have for their cities and their future, the Plan outlines six strategies to transform our settlements into powerful drivers for just and equitable sustainable development. 1. Have a vision for our cities and regions to drive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. 2. Build an integrated national urban knowledge system that links research, policy and practice. 3. Strengthen local urban and regional innovation systems to engage with the research sector. 4. Build the urban knowledge management infrastructure to facilitate information sharing and best practice. 5. Support new capability and capacity for cross-sectoral urban knowledge, development and sharing. 6. Embed stakeholder and community engagement in knowledge building, policy and practice. |
