State of the Art Sustainability

Sustainability is the word on everybody’s lips these days but in Abu Dhabi sustainability is being raised to a whole new level.

Abu Dhabi’s astonishing $20billion Masdar project will be home to 50,000 people and 1500 businesses in a development aiming for zero carbon, zero waste and total reliance on renewable energy.

What lessons does it hold for Australia? Peter Newman, Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University, will tell us about this ambitious project with its solar powered desalination plant, public mass transit, geothermal energy and other innovations.

Peter Newman is one of Australia’s most respected authorities on sustainability and the architect of the WA Sustainability Strategy, a world first. His presentations is bound to provide plenty of food for thought.
