SP0009: Report: Leading the Way - Low Carbon Policies and Measures in Australia’s Capital Cities

In Australia, capital cities are increasingly stepping forward to offer leadership on greenhouse gas abatement to a degree not evident at the national level nor in many states and territories. The leadership that some Australian cities are showing is creating community engagement, role models, demonstrations and case studies that are inspiring and germinating new initiatives elsewhere, even without national support.

SP0009 Research Report: Best Practice Policy and Regulation for Low Carbon Outcomes in the Built Environment

This study compares and contrasts Australian and global best practices in policy and regulation for the energy and carbon performance of the built environment.

It examines the drivers and opportunities for, and barriers to, the adoption of best practices in Australia.

Finally, and as a stimulus to debate, it proposes a potential set of optimal measures, at national, state/territory and local levels, along with an indicative pathway for their implementation.
