Australia’s Green Economic Potential – a CPD Briefing Paper

This briefing paper puts some of the issues covered in the United Nations Environment Program’s Green Economy Report in an Australian context and provides a primer to the challenges involved in transforming our economy to operate within environmental limits. It also presents a snapshot of the opportunities of embracing sustainable economic policy solutions in four areas: water, energy, cities and urban transport, and waste management and recycling.
