Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy, released in 2021, sets out a clear pathway towards a net zero emissions, climate-resilient, prosperous and liveable state. Both the water sector and the local government sector are key enablers in achieving this ambition, through managing the risks of climate change, providing support for our most vulnerable people and assets, and prioritising solutions that will help protect the state’s essential systems and services.
This panel discussion will provide an opportunity to hear about some of the climate adaptation initiatives happening in water and local government, and how they are helping to build community resilience.
