Centre for Sustainable Enterprise

The Asia Pacific Centre for Sustainable Enterprise is a new and innovative centre established to address a growing range of sustainability related challenges across a wide range of disciplines including business, environment, science, law, economics and sociology.

Officially launched in May 2009, the centre is a highly collaborative entity with strong national and international connections to industry, academe, government  and relevant non-government organizations.  It embraces a vibrant research culture, innovative teaching and learning programs, as well as industry and community engagement activities.

The centre promotes the research and teaching of sustainable enterprise to encourage businesses to be more environmentally and socially responsible.  In doing so, the Centre will advocate a healthier and more profitable future for the planet and it’s people.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. Presentation and interactive process around creating hope in a changing climate - In cities and villages, on campuses and in corporate meeting rooms, on every continent (eventually including, we hope, Antarctica), “Hope in a Changing Climate” is bringing people together to discuss not only the substantial environmental problems we face – but specifically, the role that ecosystem restoration can play in stabilizing our climate, eradicating poverty and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
