It highlights several example projects in the UK that showcase innovative and sustainable housing designs.
Integrated watershed management chiang mai 11.3.11
This document outlines Andrew Campbell's experience in watershed management in Australia over 30 years and reflects on different approaches taken. It discusses the evolution from local landcare groups in the 1980s-1990s, to regional catchment organizations in the 1990s-2000s, to a more targeted asset-based investment approach since 2007. However, these approaches were implemented sequentially rather than in parallel, which was a mistake as they are complementary. Good governance that integrates across sectors, scales and basins is now needed to address interconnected challenges like climate change, carbon, water, energy and food.
Geo350 Oct 24 Event Presentation
The document discusses the urgency of addressing climate change to keep atmospheric CO2 levels below 350 parts per million. It notes that global warming could lead to rising sea levels from melting ice sheets and flooding of coastal areas.

Habitat for Humanity Indian Ocean post-tsunami reconstruction
Habitat for Humanity Indian Ocean post-tsunami reconstructionBuilding and Social Housing Foundation (BSHF)
This document summarizes a study assessing the impact of Habitat for Humanity's housing reconstruction program following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The study examined how the program contributed to developing sustainable communities and livelihoods in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. It found that the program provided over 25,000 families with new homes and significantly contributed to improved housing, health, community cohesion and relationships with other organizations. However, the study also noted limitations such as insufficient community participation, a lack of long-term planning for house designs and technologies, and not adequately addressing settlement planning or livelihood recovery. The conclusions call for a more holistic and participatory approach to post-disaster recovery.Exploring energy futures for remote Australian communities
This document discusses a CSIRO project exploring innovative energy practices for remote Australian communities. It examines how people currently use and save energy in remote areas, how these practices may be affected by different future scenarios, and what implications this has for policy. The project involves participatory workshops to develop a collaborative understanding of how alternative energy systems could impact livability. It considers key uncertainties around social, economic, technological and policy drivers that may influence future energy solutions for remote housing, enterprises and transportation. Scenario planning is proposed to explore how different visions and practices may play out under a range of futures. The implications will inform sustainable energy strategies for remote Australian settlements.
MIMP Intro 2010

- An industrial strategy should be based on principles of being challenge-led, mission-oriented, and values-driven, with a priority on sustainability.
- Fundamental ecosystem and social challenges like resource depletion, climate change, and inequality must inform the strategy.
- Concepts like the green economy, circular economy, and ideas around a "safe and just operating space" could help address these challenges through economic transformation.
- The strategy and policies should support mission-led businesses, corporate governance reform, localisation, and socio-technical innovation to enable the

This document summarizes the benefits of smart growth development compared to urban sprawl. It discusses how smart growth leads to lower household transportation costs, safer communities, healthier lifestyles, and preservation of farmland and green space. Smart growth also provides more mobility options, reduces infrastructure costs, and achieves equity goals. While requiring some additional upfront subsidies, smart growth provides significant long-term economic, social, and environmental returns on investment. Professional organizations support smart growth policies for their multiple advantages over sprawl.
