Is climate change worth thinking about when you are looking to buy a house. Will Steffen from the Fenner School thinks so, as some properties may even become uninsurable.

The Fenner School's Jamie Pittock says the NSW state government's $1 billion dam-building plan would convert unregulated flows to regulated ones, with the environment the likely loser.

A 2017 report found the bush capital had lost 10 per cent of its urban canopy cover between 2009 and 2016. The government is set to plant 17,000 trees over the next four years to help restore Canberra's declining canopy cover.

Australia’s population is projected to double in 50 years, so our suburbs will continue to infill and expand.

While urbanisation presents a number of opportunities including the promise of better services, stronger economies and connections, it also poses a number of complex challenges.

Two professional associations concerned with urban forests, the Institute of Foresters of Australia and Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, with the ANU Fenner School of Environment & Society and Climate Change Institute, used International Day of Forests 2018 on 21 March, with its theme of Forests for Sustainable Cities, to convene a ‘field forum’ at the National Arboretum Canberra.
