Do we adopt or do we flop? Date: Thursday 16 February 2006 Time: 3.00pm Venue: Riverside Auditorium, Level 6, 123 Eagle Street, Brisbane. The EIANZ-SEQ held an afternoon forum to introduce the key science and prediction estimates that are the evidence of climate changes happening globally and locally in Queensland.
With this forecast, what do we as Government, communities, industry, professionals and individuals need to do to adapt to these pending changes?
The State Government discussion paper "Climate Smart Adaptation" will be presented by a DNRM project team. This paper is a process to seek broader comment and response to the discussion paper.
The Environment Institute will provide an initial response and a panel and discussion session will allow all participants to clarify and provide comment on the adaptation strategy. From the forum the Institute will be providing a formal response to the State.
