Creating the Climate for Change

The Creating the Climate for Change project brings some of Australia's leading climate change experts to Adelaide to share their ideas and debate strategies for tackling global climate change. The project will examine options for tackling global warming at the local, national and international level. It will commission leading local and international thinkers to prepare strategy discussion papers designed to promote public debate and influence policy development. The project will involve a series of forums where community leaders work with experts to foster community engagement in the development and implementation of strategies to tackle global warming.
