With Arron Wood
You’ve heard it all before – the world’s going to end, we’re to blame and there’s not much we can do! But what if Australia truly led local action on climate change? What if we truly valued our abilities and reflected this in genuine community involvement? Can what we do in our towns really make a difference to our global climate crisis? Join current Prime Minister’s Environmentalist of the Year Arron Wood as he answers with a resounding “yes!” Arron will explore how climate change may just be Australia’s greatest opportunity to become a global environmental leader and generate billions of dollars in the process.
The Melbourne School of Land and Environment is proud to host one of its Forest Science Alumni as part of its Dean’s Lecture Series. Arron is the 2001 Young Australian of the Year (National Environment Winner), 2006 United Nations Individual Award winner for Outstanding Service to the Environment, has been a feature of the ABC’s Australian Story for his commitment to the environment. He is currently the youngest Board Member of the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority and the 2007 winner of the Prime Minister’s Environmentalism of the year Award.
He will be speaking on Wednesday 3 September 2008 at 5.30pm in the Lower Theatre, Land and Food Building. Refreshments will follow the lecture.
