Australis, exploring ways to nurture the
environment that nurtures us
Diversity
Human cultural and ethnic diversity in the context of the natural environment, has inspired a rich tapestry of unique responses to creating ‘Habitat’s’, which present the opportunities for evaluation and discussion, including:
- The co-existence of man & nature
- The Australian environment – a unique world resource
- One continent, one people, 60,000 years of land stewardship
Innovation
Explore and encourage collaboration between all areas of science and technology, exploring new and more responsible ways to better manage finite resources, in the face of an ever expanding population:
- Energy (Renewables)
- Food (security, quality, heath, nutrition, wellbeing)
- Water (conservation, quality)
- Waste (as an asset to be converted to new products or energy)
Celebration
The rich blend and cultural diversity of the peoples of the world provides a wonderful matrix for the celebration of life. Australis’ 2018 will provide the forum for the nations of the world to celebrate and share their diverse cultural, social and leisure.
