Newcastle City Council

Newcastle City Council in Australia gave a presentation of their white paper on ClimateCam, the world's first greenhouse gas speedometer. The approach here is to widely involvement the community in many efforts of sustainability and to have the community keep track of its efforts to impact change through the use of a speedometer that shows exactly where the community is in meeting its goals. I can not really do justice to the breadth of the ClimateCam program here, but it is one of the most comprehensive community sustainability programs in the world. It has also been going on for over ten years, so its maturity is also one of the reasons for its comprehensiveness. It takes Newcastle four full time employees to support this initiative, plus the work of countless community and business partners.
