The latest instalment of The Office Space’s popular Insight talk series brings together Australia’s best and brightest champions of sustainability.
On September 2015 at a historic UN Summit, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that were agreed by 193 members of the UN General Assembly officially came into force. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.
Despite our wealth of natural and economic resources, Australia’s overall response to climate change is appalling. The Climate Change Performance Index has ranked us 57 out of 60 countries and rated China’s climate efforts as higher than Australia’s.
Thankfully, large-scale corporate initiatives, standout sustainability ambassadors, and a groundswell of grassroots activists are embracing transformation and taking up the cause.
This month’s Insight seminar by The Office Space features three outstanding sustainability crusaders making waves for a better future:
