Communities of Practice

Communities of Practice are Institute-wide groups that bring together members with a shared area of interest, often with a tighter area of focus than a Special Interest Section. These groups are open to all practitioners and work towards improving environmental practice through information sharing, the development of guidance documents, seminars, workshops, and other activities.

Communities of Practice generally focus on emerging opportunities or issues that require a dedicated focus over a period of time rather than ongoing committee business.

The Institute currently has the following Communities of Practice:

• Australasian Network for Ecology and Transportation (ANET)
• Biodiversity Offsets
• Nature Positive Cities
• Strategic Environmental Assessment
• Social Impact Assessment
