Bonus episode: Dr Robert Faggian - Climate modelling for local climate action
Manage episode 359944099 series 3437621
Dr Robert Faggian doesn't want research gathering dust, or government talk fests with no action.
So, in his keynote address at a recent event we hosted in Bendigo, Victoria, Rob looks at local government responses to climate adaptation. He also outlines some of his own research - which uses climate modelling - to empower action in agriculture.
This is a short bonus episode from the Vic Drought and Innovation Hub's 2023 Think Tank event, 'Are we drought ready?'.
