9th Chief Minister’s Governance Lecture
This year’s lecture will draw on records documenting the establishment and work of the of the Phoenix Garden Group. The Phoenix Group was initiated by members of the community and supported by the ACT Government to help to re-establish home gardens impacted by the 2003 bushfires.
This year’s lecturer, Professor Jacki Schirmer, is Chair of the University of Canberra’s Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Research Network and leads the Living Well in the ACT Region survey, which provides data informing the ACT Government’s Wellbeing Framework. Her research focuses on understanding the social dimensions of natural resource management and resilience to extreme climatic events, particularly how people’s access to and use of natural resources affects their health and wellbeing.
Professor Schirmer will be joined by a panel of speakers to discuss these issues.
The lecture will begin at 6.00pm, with drinks and refreshments to be served from 7.15pm.
