MBBO Webinar Navigating Climate-Related Conflicts

The Environment & Climate Change Group is holding a lunchtime speaker series hearing from leaders on navigating conflict arising from climate change.

We are pleased to announce our first speaker in the series is Jane Borthwick, an Environmental Mediator in NZ and former judge of the NZ judge of the Environment and District Courts presiding over environmental litigation.

Jane will be presenting on her research with the University of Canterbury looking at what tools are available for communities facing climate adaptation, including relocation. Jane's expertise in environmental mediation and her experience as a judge will surely provide valuable perspectives on navigating climate-related conflicts. The focus on tools for community adaptation, especially regarding relocation, is especially timely and relevant.

If you're planning to attend, it could be helpful to think about any specific questions or topics you'd like to discuss during the Q&A that follows the presentation.
