Climate and Biodiversity Futures

Climate and Biodiversity Futures

This one day symposium will bring experts together from across academia, policy and land management to discuss how new technologies and tools can be deployed in cost effective ways to resist, accept and direct paths to effective nature repair.

About

We know that further changes to climate are coming, disrupting historical patterns of biodiversity, while land use change continues to expand into unprotected natural areas. Actions to restore and repair nature are needed but what management and policy options are effective, where and when, given historical change and future extreme drought, fire and floods? How can new technologies such and tools be deployed in cost effective ways to resist, accept and direct paths to effective nature repair? How do we ensure that biodiversity protection and nature repair remain effective as climate and ecological context shift? 

The objective of this one-day symposium is to update the community of practitioners, scientists and policy makers on the advanced technology and tools available to monitor the efficacy of restoring and repairing Australia's ecological systems, and their dynamic response to climate change.  This will be accompanied by discussions on the best way forward to scale up implementation of these technologies in order to underpin environmental market-led restoration efforts in the future.
