It's not been a great end of the year for our areas of interest; we've had two failed international conferences (biodiversity and climate change), more indicators that social equality is going backwards, the proposed new national environmental laws have hit the buffers and more. But in this session we'll try to find some positive news to finish our year on.
Attached are some articles and a document with links to others that you might find of interest. We could talk about the recently released social wellbeing report from the NAB (of all institutions!). But have a look and see if any other items grab your fancy.
