The Natural Edge Project
The Natural Edge Project (TNEP) was an independent not-for-profit sustainability think tank based in Australia. It operated in several Australian cities and worked with universities, including Griffith University, the University of Adelaide, QUT, and Curtin University, in collaboration with Engineers Australia.
TNEP aimed to advance sustainable development by producing research, case studies, tools, policies, and strategies for government and business. It offered short courses, workshops, and conference presentations to share knowledge and build industry relationships. The organization received mentoring and support from leading experts and organizations in Australia and internationally.
In 2005, Sir Ninian Stephen, former Governor-General of Australia, served as the patron of TNEP.
