Have you ever wondered how just 2 degrees of warming will change our cities and regions?
How will we cope with more frequent extreme weather events, such as flooding, cyclones or heat stress?
SUMMIT
Explore these critical issues with the University of Queensland at the Shifting Climate – Shifting Places summit on Wednesday the 20th of November 2019.
You can engage with a diverse mix of leaders in climate adaptive planning and design and gain actionable insights on how we can adjust our practice for future climate impacts and create more resilient cities and regions in Queensland.
