As Australia works towards a net zero future, part of the challenge is making sense of sustainability concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when ideas are complex, they\u2019re harder to apply in everyday decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute (CUSP) and DevelopmentWA are testing a different approach: using the power of illustration and creative communication to make concepts, such as lifecycle thinking and emissions reduction, easier to grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join CUSP as they share insights from their collaborative project with DevelopmentWA, \u2018Net Zero Transition Planning for Land Development and Housing Delivery<\/em>\u2019, and explore how research can help organisations navigate a path to net zero across land development and housing delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover how making sustainability concepts more accessible can strengthen organisational understanding and turn ambition into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hear from CUSP Director Associate Professor Jayne Bryant<\/strong>, who will later be joined for a panel discussion by Professor Josh Byrne<\/strong>, Dean of Sustainable Futures in Curtin\u2019s Faculty of Humanities, DevelopmentWA\u2019s Head of Strategy and Innovation John Clifton, <\/strong>and CUSP Research Fellow Holly Fox<\/strong>, the illustrator helping to bring these concepts to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
