Living with water: questions for policy and action
What adaptive responses have we witnessed to water under-supply, contamination, and changing landscapes, and what needs to change? What policy strategies and social collaborations are necessary to effect political influence and how can we narrate policy success?
In this roundtable, panelists applied their diverse expertise to the challenges of how we reform urban planning and community engagement, attend to Indigenous housing, contend with extractive industries, and develop legal, policy and political responses for even more challenging futures.
This public policy roundtable featured:
- Tessa Lea - Chair, Housing for Health Incubator
- Josie Douglas - Principal Policy Officer, Central Land Council
- Aron Chang - Urban designer, New Orleans
- Robert Griew - Principal, Nous Group
- David Morris - CEO, Environmental Defenders Office NSW
