survivor: How can the Australian continent survive climate change given the unique features of its landscape?

Dr Mary White, one of Australia’s leading environmental writers, will be talking about the history and development of the Australian continent, our human interaction with it, and the steps we need to take to create a sustainable future for our unique country.

• What do you know about the land you live in, and implications for climate change?
• What does Australia need to do differently to other countries, given its unique makeup?
• Is Australia on track with its climate change strategies? What does sustainable land and water use look like for Australia?
