Sunshine Coast Biosphere Welcomes Foundation Partners
Sunshine Coast Biosphere has welcomed its foundation partners, including UniSC and FAN, aiming to enhance sustainability and community engagement in the region.
Four prominent local entities, all champions of sustainability in their sectors, have become the first partners of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere.
The University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC), Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN), Sunshine Coast Manufacturing Excellence Forum, and Visit Sunshine Coast are now the foundation partners of the Biosphere.
Mayor Rosanna Natoli, who also chairs the Biosphere's Coordinating Committee, stated that all four organisations are regional sustainability leaders.
“Bringing partners to our Biosphere adds incredible value and helps recognise that we are all part of something much bigger, and we all have a collective role to play in caring for our Sunshine Coast,” Mayor Natoli expressed.
“These partnerships support sustainable industries, boost our local economy and create opportunities for growth, while preserving our environment for future generations.”
“Our Biosphere needs our community, businesses, and organisations on board, and this is just the first step.”
The Sunshine Coast Biosphere was designated in June 2022, internationally recognising the region as a member of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation).
“The Biosphere is our commitment and responsibility to a sustainable future: caring for our environment, creating thriving communities, and growing our local economy,” Mayor Natoli concluded.
