Summit calls for sustainability agenda, suggests mandating carbon neutral buildings
Saturday's draft proposal at the 2020 summit for an independent sustainability commission evolved by Sunday afternoon into a call for national sustainability agenda, coupled with audits.
Other 'top ideas' from the climate and sustainability stream include the possibility of requiring new buildings to be carbon neutral from 2020 onwards. And – at the suggestion of Climate Change Minister Penny Wong – giving all Australians the tools to manage their 'personal carbon footprint'.
