We are a mission-driven enterprise committed to finding integrated solutions for the entrenched sustainability challenges facing Southeast Asia and Australia.

The Australia – Mekong Partnership for Environmental Resources and Energy Systems (AMPERES) is a sustainability enterprise.

We use evidence-bases, deliberative processes and innovative technology to improve how communities interact with the environment.

We work through partnerships because we understand that complex, entrenched problems are not solved by scaling business-as-usual but through the innovation in approaches and technologies that emerges from multi-disciplinary teams collaborating across the public/private, commercial/research, and community/government spectrums.

Our services

LNMC one-to-one meeting — We support governments

to improve the sustainability of policy and planning processes through implementation of climate risk & adaptation assessments, Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs), integrated environmental assessments, river basin plans, water, energy and economic modelling and techno-economic studies.

Pannyo+solar.jpg — We empower communities

to improve livelihoods through affordable and reliable access to distributed energy & water resources using business models that are viable and centre benefits at the community level.

P4Ps+XT_aerial.jpg — We work with companies & industry

to decarbonise their business, promote energy independence and reduce operating costs through energy efficiency planning and the development of distributed renewable energy systems.

We collaborate with researchers & universities

to prototype, test & scale innovative technology towards successful commercialisation.

Together new technology and governance models could catalyse a shift in the equity of the Mekong's development trajectory. Communities once on the fringe of development could become leaders in new, more equitable models of energy access and utilisation; and accelerate progress on a range of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
