Principal speaker
Dr Dr Brian J Adams
Join us for a free and lively discussion with Dr Brian J Adams, Director of the Multi-Faith Centre at Griffith University.
This presentation explores the role faith plays in supporting climate change adaptation. This will be examined from two perspectives. First, faith will be examined as a personal motivator to face challenges, strengthen resilience and maintain persistence in work. Second, faith as an institution will be examined as an important contributor to resilient communities and policy making. This discussion will also include the presentation of a deliberative democratic framework of nine principles to facilitate in infusion of faith perspectives in climate change decision making.
Panel responses will follow the presentation. The panel is comprised of Dr Sylvie Shaw (Lecturer in Religion and Spirituality Studies, University of Queensland) and The Very Reverend Dr Peter Catt (Dean, Anglican Diocese of Brisbane).
Panel responses will be followed by discussion and questions from the audience.
A free light supper from 5:30 pm for a 6 pm start and conclusion at 8 pm.
