关于悉尼能源合作社
悉尼能源合作社(Sydney Energy Cooperative)是澳大利亚的一家非政府非赢利性机构,于2007年3月在新南威尔士州悉尼成立。我们的宗旨是以市场为导向解决环境问题,力求社会、环境和经济效益多赢,实现一种合作心性的能源革命。我们的目标是通过对经济、能源和社会因素的综合评估解决节能问题。
我们的项目主要侧重在社区节能项目、城市可持续发展、能源能效与全球气候变暖、和与国际及国内机构合作的自身能力建设等方面。
我们的目标:
* 引入市场机制的理念和方法,研究和解决现代社会的节能问题;
* 推广对环境有利的技术和商业运作模式;
* 培养一种自觉的节约文化;
* 推广将环境保护和经济发展、短期和长期规划、地方与全球利益相结合的决策机制
