Welcome to the Canberra Environment and Sustainability Resource Centre
Sustainability has become the single most important driving force for human development. With a growing population in a dry region, the ACT needs to consider all aspects of our development to ensure that we constantly balance our needs as a dynamic society with those of our natural environment. Our aim is to work with all sectors of the ACT and regional community towards sustainable development that will see Canberra grow and prosper while keeping the bush in the Bush Capital.

New movie - not to be missed!
HOME will be a major event around the globe: for the first time ever, a film will be released on the same day in over 50 countries.
June 5th 2009, World Environment Day has been chosen as the highly symbolic date for this simultaneous, and free of charge, release on every format : movie theatre, TV, DVD and Internet.
The aim of director Yann Arthus-Bertrand, distributor Luc Besson and François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of PPR, is to reach the widest possible audience, and to convince us all of our individual and collective responsibility towards the planet.
