brought together leading Queensland research facilities, government agencies and
service providers to guide the professional development of practitioners. Griffith
University’s Climate Change Adaptation program, the EPA’s Office of Climate
Change and leaders in the field of carbon mitigation and climate change
joined forces with EIANZ to bring you the Climate Change Boot Camp.
The Boot Camp
had a practical “skills based” focus to empower environmental
practitioners, to respond to current and future impacts of climate change within
their business or profession.
The Boot Camp
aimed to:
-
Heighten awareness of key principles, new knowledge, tools and case studies
related to addressing climate change
-
Identify
any gaps that may exist in the tools and resources required to support
practitioners
in responding to climate change impacts and follow up on these matters with
institutional providers.
