Do you want to make a difference but are not sure how? Sustainability assessment is an emerging tool to direct decision making towards sustainability and deliver better outcomes for business and the community as a whole. In this course you will learn about the use of sustainability assessment as a both a regulatory tool that goes beyond traditional environmental impact assessment and an internal planning tool to transform organisational decision making and subsequent operations.
The aim of the training is to introduce participants to current thinking and understanding of sustainability assessment concepts, processes and techniques. Module 1 of the course includes the following:
- Sustainability assessment principles, processes and issues
- Sustainability assessment as a tool for approval of new development proposals
- Sustainability assessment to inform planning and discussion making within an organisation
This training is being conducted in conjunction with the SSEE 2011 International Conference, but you don't need to register for the conference to attend, although the conference is a not to be missed event!
For more information see the attached flyer.
This course is part one of a two part course. It is expected that Module 2 - In Depth Sustainability Assessment Methodology will be held in Brisbane in early 2012.
