The Phoenix Effect – New Frontiers for Sustainability and the Economy

In 2013 and 2014 Green Capital’s major two-year project, Sustainable Economic Frontiers, is exploring and analysing a dynamic, fast-evolving and diverse field, from a distinctively Australian perspective. Simultaneously there is a growing wave of bottom-up civil society, local government and business action aimed at delivering more sustainable and resilient communities and enterprises. The aim of the report is to conduct an initial highlevel overview, ahead of deeper investigation of what is on offer, and to promote dialogue about the ideas and the trends that are taking shape.
