Community Engagement for Localised Greenhouse Reduction: a local government demand-management model for business and household water, energy and waste reduction

需要新的综合社区战略来处理减少澳大利亚碳足迹的当务之急。该项目明确侧重于加强社区参与，促进本地温室气体减排，将为减少需求战略提供重要的分析和政策处方。促进持久的可持续环境态度和行为的改变是《国家生态可持续发展战略》的核心，该战略认为政府、企业和个人在推进生态可持续发展方面发挥着明确的作用。研究结果将有助于开发新的基于地方的综合生态可持续性模式，供地方/州政府实施。

New integrated community strategies are needed to deal with the imperative of reducing Australia's carbon footprint. With an explicit focus on enhancing community engagement for localised greenhouse reduction, this project will generate important analysis and policy prescriptions for demand reduction strategies. The development of enduring sustainable environment attitudinal and behavioural change is central to the National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development, which sees a clear role for governments, business and individuals in progressing ecologically sustainable development. The results will contribute to developing new place-based integrated eco-sustainability models for implementation by local/state governments.
