While most Australians are concerned about climate change, few have made significant lifestyle changes to reduce their environmental impact. Indigenous school attendance remains low in some areas. The global economy has expanded rapidly in recent centuries, but progress toward sustainability has been slower. Most of the world's ecosystems are now degraded. To avoid further damage, unsustainable behaviors must change quickly. An upcoming conference will bring together experts to help attendees turn sustainability knowledge into meaningful action.
