The Natural Edge Project (TNEP) is a collaborative partnership for education, research and policy development on innovation for sustainable development, based at QUT, Griffith University, Curtin University and Adelaide University.

TNEP's mission is to contribute to and succinctly communicate leading research, case studies, tools and strategies for achieving sustainable development across government, business and civil society.

TNEP have partnered with the Solar City projects and Townsville City Council's Citysolar program to undertake extensive research into Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) along with investigations into economic and policy measures.

Documents from this action research are available here, relating to: 

• A comprehensive CBSM behaviour change program undertaken to address reducing energy use in the home (6 documents);
• An incentives investigation into local government opportunities for engaging the community in new behaviours (2 documents); and
• An economic policy investigation into local government considerations for supporting new behaviours (2 documents).
