We're putting 'us' in sustainability because a sustainable Tasmania takes all of us.
The Tasmanian Government is developing a sustainability strategy for Tasmania, led by the Department of Premier and Cabinet in concert with all Government agencies, businesses and authorities. No one can do this alone, and it is not something any Government or agency can impose. It’s a strategy we share, as it will encompass the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability.
Many positive initiatives are already happening across Government and Tasmania’s business and community sectors. The purpose of a sustainability strategy is not to duplicate effort or waste resources, but to bring together these initiatives and work together on new initiatives to enhance the social, economic, and environmental wellbeing of current and future generations.
This strategy is about coordinating, celebrating, and taking advantage of what we are already doing. It is about being honest about how we can do better, for what we all care deeply about: our air and land and water, our communities, and each other. All Tasmanian households, businesses, investors, and visitors to Tasmania can work together on common goals and objectives. To support this, we invite all Tasmanians to help build our shared sustainability strategy, to own it, and to be inspired to act by our aspirations for the future.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to be involved, and this website will be updated regularly as the project progresses. Let’s be Tasmanian Positive.
