- Description
- Climate change is one of the most discussed topics in today's world. Recently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2021) released a report entitled Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis. The report confirms that climate change affects every region on earth and brings multiple different changes such as changes to wetness and dryness, to winds, snow and ice, coastal areas and oceans. The report projects the very high probability of increased temperatures and more heat waves over most land areas and increased extreme high sea levels. Tasmania, being an island, is also experiencing impacts of climate change that have far-reaching implications for agriculture, tourism, electricity generation, local businesses and biodiversity. This project proposes to develop a case study from the generous offer of the VonBibra's at Beaufront Farm to offset the carbon generated at the weekly farmers' market in Launceston. Due to the costly onus of the current EFT auditing process this regeneration work would not have been accounted for and thus no offset created without this project. From this we aim to develop a cost-effective best practice methodology to offset carbon generated at the weekly Harvest Launceston Community Farmers' Market (gate to gate) with the potential to extend the offset to include the food miles involved in getting the produce to the weekly market (farm to gate).

- Description
- There is growing and genuine concern that accounting education in Australia and globally is failing to develop students' understanding of the financial impacts of climate crisis and their role in assisting organisations to measure, record, report and manage climate change risks and related impacts. This study investigates the above-mentioned concern by auditing the current status of the inclusion of climate change in current accounting curricula in Australian and New Zealand universities to identify factors supporting and barricading the integration of climate change in accounting curricula and how climate change can be systematically integrated in accounting curricula to equip the next generation of accountants with the skills required to respond to the challenges generated by the climate change crisis. We anticipate that the outcomes of our study will be a comprehensive review of the success (or otherwise) of current accounting education in embedding environmental sustainability, a set of benchmarks for integration of climate change and environmental sustainability into accounting curricula and practical steps for implementation to prepare accounting students to be at the forefront of climate change response.

- Description
- The 17 UNSDGs launched in 2015 are the most comprehensive, integrated, and holistic goals seeking to achieve social and environmental sustainability in all spheres of life. Focusing on this agenda, the study will explore how the accounting profession and accountants are well-positioned (or not well-positioned) to contribute towards SDGs. Accountants prepare financial reports mainly profit and loss statement to report the financial performance of companies, however reporting boundaries should be extended beyond financial performance and integrate a range of sustainability reporting's (Deegan, 2020). This study will provide fertile grounds for future SDG accounting research, to ensure that appropriate consideration is given to explore the changing role of accountants that encompasses SDG reporting and creating value for stakeholders.
