This past year has W seen a continued focus on the environment in terms of climate change management, however communities have also had a new challenge of a global financial crisis added to the mix. This combination of environmental and economic uncertainty has seen a heightened awareness amongst NSROC councils of the importance of sustainability of our communities. Over the 2008/2009 year NSROC councils have continued working with their communities and led by example so that environmental sustainability remains front of mind. The economic downturn has highlighted the importance of sustainable resource management and the need to manage consumption and behaviours responsibly for the economic and environmental benefit of future generations. The economic-environment nexus is expected to be more sharply defined in the next 12 months as a carbon emission trading scheme is developed at a federal government level.
