SNIPPET: In an address today at GREENHOSUE 2009 in Perth, Ms Dowd says a CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship project called Energymark aims to develop new ways to foster long lasting behavioural change at home and at work. 'Based on the concept that behavioural change requires knowledge intervention to change attitudes, Energymark helps build the knowledge base in communities regarding sustainable energy use and emissions reduction.'. 'The success of the program is due to its group convenors who bring together friends, family, workmates and neighbours to talk about energy, climate change and mitigation,' she says.

This is part of an ongoing consultation process that will be held around the region from February 1st to March 31st, 2009. We are seeking the views of representatives from governments, donor agencies, civil society, and other stakeholders, on the document.
