Gold Coast Community Conversation: Reflections on the Latest IPCC Report.

Principal speaker

Professor Brendan Mackey

The Griffith Climate Action Beacon and Gecko Environment Council invites you to join us in a discussion on the latest IPCC report and what it means for the Gold Coast Community.

The recently released United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II Sixth Assessment Report: Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability provides a detailed and somewhat stark picture of the impacts that can be expected under scenarios of global warming. The catastrophic floods in Queensland and NSW over the past week have highlighted the reality of these impacts at the local level and remind us of the urgent action that is required across all parts of society to limit CO2 emissions and subsequent warming to avoid further catastrophic impacts.

Professor Brendan Mackey will begin by summarising the IPCC report findings relevant to Australia and the Pacific region, and translating these impacts to the Gold Coast context. Invited community groups will then present their local climate action initiatives and pose questions about the IPCC report. A general Q&A will follow. Intended audience members can access the relevant IPCC report for Chapter 11: Australia HERE.
