Sustainability Victoria (SV) is supporting the State Government’s targets to increase renewable energy to more than 50 per cent and to halve food waste by 2030 in its newly launched strategy, SV2030: A decade of action.
“We know this is the decade of action because that’s what our stakeholders told us during the development of this strategy,” said Matt Genever, SV’s Interim Chief Executive Officer.
“The SV2030 strategy is bold, ambitious and built on evidence that highlights the big changes that we need to make globally.
“For more than 15 years SV has been working with the sustainability changemakers and we’re committed to working even harder over the next eight years to deliver our vision for 2030.”
Genever said that SV’s purpose is to accelerate Victoria’s transition to a circular, climate-resilient clean economy – contributing to achieving the Government’s 2030 targets as set out in Victoria’s plan for a circular economy and the Climate Change Strategy.
“We are doing this in partnership with our stakeholders in industry, business, entrepreneurs, research institutions, schools, households, individuals, community groups and governments within Victoria and across Australia,” he said.
SV’s efforts are focused in three main areas: Investment and innovation, providing incentives and insights to develop new markets and grow existing ones; behaviour change and education, leading effective change and; community action, leading and supporting local projects and programs.
