Our Work with 6 Capitals Framework on Leading edge of Research-POlicy Interface

​Our Managing Director Ro recently attended the Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform Sustainability Science Symposium hosted by the CSIRO in Canberra. This was a great opportunity to hear from leading sustainability science minds about cutting edge research. Ro was particularly interested to hear about leading edge research-policy work using the 6 Capitals Framework to understand the value of community relationships. 

Ro continues to grow her knowledge in Social and Environmental Accounting approaches and last year she completed the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Practitioner Certificate in Integrated Reporting and the Capitals Coalition Valuing Nature and People to Inform Business Decision-making Course, both of which use the 6 Capitals Framework. 

Mountain Ash Insights recently used the 6 Capitals Framework to frame, measure and account for the resilience capacity of the Huon Valley for the Huon Valley Council Food Resilience Strategy. Further information about this project can be found on our website https://mountainashinsights.com.au/projects.html  

Using the 6 Capitals Framework for this novel approach to strategy development required complex and creative thinking, iterative project design and a very open-minded client in Huon Valley Council! It is exciting to reflect how Mountain Ash Insights and this local Huon Valley Strategy is on the leading edge of the sustainability research-policy interface in this country!
