I have always been fascinated by the concept of sustainability and it has shaped my studies, career and life. I grew up in Australia but have spent the last 10 years living in Sweden and working at Lund University. Now a fantastic opportunity has come up to return to Melbourne University for a year. I aim to collect my thoughts about sustainability from my experiences in Australia and Sweden and back again. As I see it, I have 52 weeks to explore the world of sustainability!

14. NZ Calling?
I have travelled to many parts of the world, but for some reason never to New Zealand or NZ even though it really is so close to Australia. Well, I am off to windy Wellington to visit an old mate who now lives there. I don't know much about NZ except that it has an extrodinary natural environment, the people love sport, especially rugby, and NZ was one of the first nations to implement an Emissions Trading Scheme or ETS. In fact, a Masters student at my work recently did her research on the ETS in NZ to better understand how it came into force, and what others can learn from the experiences, not to mention Australia, who has recently joined the club with its own ETS. My friend in NZ is in fact an economist, so I am sure he has some thoughts on the ETS in both countries. I look forward to some friendly debates, and getting to see some of NZ :)
