  1. Sustainability: getting it right through stakeholder engagement and peer research Mr Paul Graham Greener Skies 2009 6 October 2009

  2. Overview • Stakeholder engagement on a sustainable aviation industry • Principles • Current Australasian activities • Australian biofuel challenges • Research priorities and knowledge gaps • Climate change

  3. Industry consensus building on sustainable aviation Environment groups Alternative fuel suppliers Can these groups agree on: • The scale of the challenge? • Barriers to change? • Who has a stake? • How each is impacted? • Actions that make a difference? Aviation companies Conventional fuel suppliers Government / Society

  4. Key principles of consensus process • All constructive stakeholders included • If the strategy can only proceed when there is broad consensus, leaving out oppositional voices is counter-productive • Focus consensus building on the challenges and possible range of actions • NOT on specific desired actions • Experience shows there is always far more agreement and consensus than expected

  5. Key principles of consensus process • A supporting fact base using a common methodology • NOT my consultant versus yours • Remembering that not everyone at the table shares the same level of knowledge • Transparency • Whatever consensus can be achieved is always worth sharing and allows the debate to move on

  6. Current Australasian Road Map activity • A scoping project • Stakeholder review • Preliminary assessment of the challenges and barriers to change • Review of fact base required to support Road Map process • Current Participants • Qantas, Virgin Blue, Air New Zealand, Boeing, Defence (Australia) & CSIRO

  7. Research priorities • Achieved • Assessment of scope for 1st generation biofuels • Partial assessment of 2nd generation • Road Map for land transport and other uses of bioenergy • Gaps • Full assessment of potential of 2nd generation biofuels “Exotic” / non-food based Sustainability issues, criteria and indicators

  8. Climate change: potential impacts on Australia will be across all sectors and regions Water security problems are likely to intensify in southern and eastern Australia Greater risks for coastal flooding from sea-level rise and storm surges Reduced production in agriculture and forestry in south and east
