Local SDGs: A framework for charting pathways to sustainability to future-proof local communities

The project will develop a framework for enhancing the economic, social and environmental sustainability of local communities in regional Australia. The project will undertake comprehensive case studies using mixed methods to assess options for improving multiple socio-economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability for two very different regional Victorian communities, each facing unique challenges. Widespread uptake of our general framework for charting pathways to local sustainability can help achieve the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the ground up.
