Delivered a lecture today on #naturebasedsolutions for the course Ian Mell is teaching at University of Hong Kong (HKU), and got to watch Ian deliver a very interesting (and animated!) lecture on #greeninfrastructure planning in the UK. Thank you for having me!

I am holding two workshops in WA this week for members of the public, exploring how we manage the risk of #bushfires on #forests in the South West. You can register here: anu.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0u…. Even if you can't come, you can register your interest in future events & workshops!

Are experts keeping the conservative in conservation? Clement et al examine how experts feel about using non-traditional options to manage #climatechange and already stressed #ecosystems🌳 🌍Read more about this impactful work #OpenAccess in GEC: doi.org/10.1016/j.gloe…

Excellent read. I was so upset when I learned how violent people can be towards snakes in their garden. I didn't grow up with these myths, and it never occurred to me to go on the offensive. "These snakes, when treated with respect, are not the animals we often think they are.”

I rarely come into the site formerly known as Twitter anymore, but this thread was worth opening the app.

Our new paper about #wildfires and #governance discusses overcoming rigidity traps and considering context-specific values and trade-offs to manage risks to people and ecosystems ecologyandsociety.org/vol29/iss1/art… Ecology & Society @ANUFennerSchool

Innovation for the sake of doing a new shiny thing isn't worth it if you don't change the processes of planning cities & infrastructure. Great summary here of our paper on action research for transformative change. The paper is here: link.springer.com/article/10.100… @ANUFennerSchool

This is a great opportunity, and I can confirm that Ian is great to work with!

Not a happy story, but we can’t keep burying our heads in the sand.. this is climate change affecting the home we know and love 😢 abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Do you work on #wildfires? We're conducting a global survey on how experts think management should change to better achieve social & environmental outcomes & adapt to #climatechange for my #DECRA. Pls share esp w/ practitioners, as they are harder to reach than published authors!

Very excited to be part of this programme! Looking forward to the year ahead! Science & Technology Australia

We're having a book launch for Environment and Sustainability: A policy handbook! Come see me, Steve Dovers, and Karen Hussey discuss Australian environmental policy, what's changed in the 10 years since the last edition, and what might be next: fennerschool.anu.edu.au/news-events/ev…

I am looking forward to speaking about NBS and democracy tomorrow for this webinar. A bit late for my Australian colleagues on the east coast, but you can join and ask interesting questions to keep me awake!

Looking forward to running a 'mini' Choice dialogue about #wildfires at #TCESG25 at 1 pm in Marathon B. We'll also be covering some of our global expert survey results and how to facilitate public conversations about controversial policy issues.
