FORWARD THINKING - Climate Change

Climate change requires our entire society to be thinking ahead and making plans on how we can adapt. So what can planners add to this vital area of work? Our two speakers are Dorean Erhart, Director of Linden Climate Advisory and Greg Fisk, Global Lead in Climate Risk and Resilience at BMT. Dorean discussed how planners can engage in this kind of work to make a difference and what innovations are available to implement. Greg discussed how climate related risks and resilience are being considered in Queensland planning and development assessment. He addressed both the current status and future directions.
