Outreach

ICEDS has provided support to the launching of a new cross-faculty Seminar Series: Social Dimensions of Climate Change Transitions in Australia. This seminar series aims to build a community of practice for researchers and policy makers. Our first three seminars at the end of 2022 were on communicating about climate change, micro-grids and resilience, climate change anxiety and communities in transition. We will continue the seminar series into 2023.
