Sustainability Strategy is an invaluable, practical guide to achieving sustainability goals for the public sector, business and natural resource management. Including international examples but written specifically for an Australian context,Sustainability Strategy explains: the management tools available and how to use them, and how to select the right tools to achieve your goals. Sustainability Strategy shows how social and economic factors such as consumption patterns impact on sustainability, and how strategies can be designed and implemented to influence individual and organisational behaviour. In particular, the authors show how regulation, market instruments, incentive payments and information can be systematically used to change behaviour in favour of the sustainable use of limited resources. Using a combination of expert interviews, practical case studies and a step-by-step guide to strategy development and implementation, Sustainability Strategy is an essential tool for organisations of all sizes that wish to create environmentally responsible practices
