Accounting for Sustainability: Developing an Integrated Approach for Sustainability Assessments

在当今充满挑战的世界，我们需要找到新的方式来维持我们的城市、社区和组织。在过去十年中，各机构制定了高度复杂的指标来监测和衡量可持续性。然而，这些指标往往脱离了手头的实际任务——管理企业、保护环境或促进社会和文化福祉。该项目将开发一个框架和软件系统，用于在共同规划和报告情况下评价和应用指标。该项目将使澳大利亚的组织受益：a)制定明确、实际的可持续发展目标；B)降低报告合规的成本和c)改善可持续性实践。

In today's challenging world, we need to find new ways to sustain our cities, communities and organisations. In the past decade, various bodies have developed highly sophisticated indicators for monitoring and measuring sustainability. However these indicators often become detached from practical tasks at hand - managing businesses, preserving the environment, or promoting social and cultural well-being. This project will develop a framework and software system for evaluating and applying indicators in common planning and reporting situations. The project will benefit Australian organisations by a) developing clear, practical sustainability goals; b) lowering cost of reporting compliance and c) improving sustainability practices.
