Planet Talks, Pizza, and Precincts @ Flinders University
Description
At Flinders University, we’re changing lives and the world. This mission is at the heart of our commitment to supporting and shaping a more sustainable society, focused on meeting our collective needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
Climate change affects not only our environment, but also our wellbeing, communities, and sense of the future. As part of Adelaide Climate Action Week, join a panel of Flinders University experts in ecology, public policy, environmental health, engineering, and sustainability for an honest conversation about one of the defining challenges of our time. Together, we'll explore the emotions a changing climate can evoke from anxiety and despair to optimism and determination and discuss practical ways to turn concern into action. Through conversations about biodiversity, environmental justice, community-led solutions, technological innovation, and resilience, our panellists will share insights into the challenges ahead, the progress being made, and where hope can be found.
We invite the public, students and staff to join us for this event at the Noel Stockdale Room, Central Library Bedford Park.
The event kicks off with a Planet Talk Panel with Flinders University academics discussing the ACAW action areas, real-life climate action and research. This part of the event runs from 11-12:30 pm.
We will be joined by four remarkable academics:
Professor Corey Bradshaw Matthew Flinders Professor of Global Ecology in the College of Science and Engineering.
Professor Thuy Pham Professional Research Fellow in Public Policy in the College of Business, Creative Arts, Law and Social Sciences
Professor Kirstin Ross Course coordinator for the Graduate Diploma in Environmental Health Practice and Master of Environmental Health in the College of Science and Engineering.
Dr. Afrooz Bayat Associate Lecturer in Engineering (Teaching and Research) in the College of Science and Engineering and;

The day will then follow with pizza and refreshments 12:30-1:00 pm.
