Kaur Chhabra

I’m a final-year Bachelor of Environmental Management student at UNSW with a strong interest in biodiversity assessment, environmental approvals, biodiversity assessment and environmental management/ consulting. I’m passionate about protecting natural environments and contributing to practical, evidence-based solutions that support better environmental outcomes. I believe meaningful change often starts with small, well-informed actions, and I’m motivated to be part of work that creates lasting positive impact for communities, ecosystems, and future generations.

UNSW Sydney Environmental Management · 2026

Turning environmental data into decisions that matter.

My work sits at the intersection of environmental science, biodiversity data, regulatory policy and practical advisory — translating complex environmental information into clear, evidence-based decisions.

From conducting circular economy site audits across 10 NSW council locations to analysing climate-related regulatory exposure across 20+ Australian councils at MRA Consulting Group, I bring a rigorous, evidence-based approach to every engagement.

Outside of professional work, I serve as President of the UNSW Geoscience Society and Vice President of the Environmental Management Society, and was selected as one of 12 national speakers at Soapbox Science on National Science Day 2025.
