Cool Designs: How the government’s new design policy could affect your future
However, it's not just electricity generation that matters. Other sectors also have an important role to play in reducing emissions. This includes the built environment. Buildings are responsible for half of Australia’s emissions. Emissions from buildings come from energy use, gas use and emissions from the manufacture of building materials (what’s called embodied carbon).
The quality of buildings and developments also determines how comfortable and healthy they are for people and how much they cost to run. Building all new developments and homes to withstand a hotter future is a crucial part of adapting to climate change.
Proposed earlier this year, the Design and Place SEPP is an opportunity for the government to improve planning rules to achieve net zero emissions and make our urban environment’s better more sustainable places to live. Once the draft SEPP comes out for consultation later this month, we’ll be in touch about how to make your voice heard, so we can help get a strong Design and Place SEPP over the line - so make sure to listen to understand the issue.

Inside the bear pit: Our politicians talk nature. Episode 3: The crossbenchers pt. 2
When fighting for nature in parliament, how does the upper house differ from the lower? In our final crossbench episode of Inside the Bear Pit we chat to Cate Faehrmann of the Greens and independent Justin Field about their experiences in Upper House. Both Cate and Justin are close to our hearts as previous staff members of Nature Conservation council and we are very excited to have them here on the podcast. In this mini-series of the Voices for Nature Podcast, we have been speaking to politicians from across the political spectrum about their views surrounding nature, how environmental policy is formulated, how to effectively influence decision-makers, and the environmental politics of the current parliament.

Inside the bear pit: Our politicians talk nature. Episode 2: The crossbenchers pt. 1
How much do our views on nature differ between the terrace houses of inner Sydney and the big sky country of the Riverina? We talk with two crossbench MPs, Alex Greenwich representing inner Sydney, and Helen Dalton of the Shooters, Fishers & Farmers Party, representing Murray, a geographically giant electorate that takes in the south-west quarter of NSW. In this new mini-series of the Voices for Nature Podcast, we have been speaking to politicians from across the political spectrum about their views surrounding nature, how environmental policy is formulated, how to effectively influence decision-makers, and the environmental politics of the current parliament.
