As the @IPCC_CH AR6 Synthesis Report makes clear, the implications of #Climatechange for infrastructure are immense. For insights about the situation in Victoria, Australia, tune in for the @infravic panel this morning infrastructurevictoria.com.au/2023/03/17/red…


All the research points in the one direction: work far, far harder to reduce emissions and climate change impacts. When? Now.

“This Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action & shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.” - #IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee on the release of #IPCC’s Synthesis Report. Read here 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

It’s been very wet, but #drought is part of Australia’s climate cycle, so are we ready? Join the #VicHub in #Bendigo for this Think Tank, in exploring #droughtpreparedness at local government level. Free event. 23 March. vicdroughthub.org.au/news-events #AusAg #FutureDroughtFund

⬇️ If you work in local Gov - with an expertise in climate change, environment and sustainability - we want to hear from you! Opportunities for you to participate in our closed group session too! Let me know if you’re interested.

How can we best balance the climate science and predictions with local community needs? How do we ensure all voices are heard, for ‘just adaptation’? Join the #VicHub in #Bendigo, in person or online, on 23 March. Free event, registration essential. vicdroughthub.org.au/news-events/ev…

If climate adaptation is not done right, it can lead to maladaptation. We need to plan for a hotter, drier environment - so how do we make sure all voices are considered? Free @VicHub_Drought event ONLINE or in Bendigo @VCOSS @FRRR_Oz @LaurenARickards vicdroughthub.org.au/news-events/ev…

So valuable to have these insights about the Black Summer fires pulled together quickly. Well done & thanks @LibbyRumpff et al. If we had the energy and $, we should produce sequential volumes like this on all major events and across impact types... Next up: the floods??

It's a pleasure to announce that March '23 I'll be joining @Latrobe as Chair of Climate Change Adaptation and setting up the La Trobe Climate Change Adaptation Lab. It's been a great 8 years at @RMIT @RMIT_CUR & I look forward to collaborating with my RMIT colleagues in new ways.


Thank you Minister for the chance to sit down and talk with you in-depth about Australia’s #climatechange #adaptation needs this morning. One real need is closer researcher-government dialogue and faster feedbacks between them, so we are (now!) on the right track #Adaptation2022

After a decade of delay and inaction, Australia is ready to lead on climate adaptation, anticipating and managing climate impacts to protect our communities. #Adaptation2022



Aus is characterised by decades of stop-start efforts to improve coastal management. We need to sidestep the politics that keep disrupting progress to quickly address the escalating risks facing our coastal communities, ecosystems and landscapes. Bruce Thom at #Adaptation2022
