This work-in-progress presentation explores how communities in the Eurobodalla Shire (NSW) are reconstructing their environmental imaginaries and political engagement in the wake of the 2019-20 Black Summer fires.
Named after a very caring manga character in his community, the MIZURA project proposes to accelerate changes in society regarding disabled citizens, now better called functionally diverse, who are stereotypically perceived as burdens, by demonstrating that their functional diversity provides them with adaptive advantages to think, face, and solve scientific questions from which the whole society benefits by their inclusion.
Europe is now a heatwave hotspot with broken temperature records leading to significant heat-related deaths in recent years. Projections indicate such summers may become common, highlighting the urgent need for improved heat-health warning systems. This study evaluates the effectiveness of temperature-related mortality forecasts for 2022 and 2023, finding them crucial for adapting to increasing temperatures and mitigating health impacts.
ANU Fenner School of Environment & Society research students from across our cohorts are presenting their work in three days of talks
This seminar delves into colonialism's profound impact on Indigenous communities' strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change. Additionally, it explores the influence of Indigenous self-determination and resurgence on climate change, drawing insights from two distinct doctoral research studies.
