Implementing sustainability: ICSC at Adelaide Solar Cities Congress (ppt 5.8mb)

"Implementing Sustainability and Changing Behaviour" was the theme of International Centre for Sustainable Cities (ICSC) CEO Nola-Kate Seymoar's presentation at the Third International Solar Cities Congress in Adelaide, Australia in 2008.

This presentation shares best practices on sustainable urban development, solar technology and the built environment, and current strategies to address climate change.

The Congress was intended to provide cities with ideas and tools to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to make the transition to renewable energy.

Australia's Solar Cities are leaders in implementing solar technologies, and the government continues to develop programs that involve the private sector and local communities. They are collecting data to help Australia's households, industry, energy companies and governments cut greenhouse gases, in order to see what works and what can be done in the future to help build a sustainable energy economy.
