Description
Invited panelist on ‘The Future of Flooding’, a speculative futures panel discussion, Institute for Water Futures, ANU, Canberra, About this event Floods are an important part of our history, our present, and increasingly, our future. In our warming climate, not only are floods set to be more frequent and dramatic but also more valuable – potentially. In this ‘speculative fiction’ panel discussion, we explore the positive potential of flooding. We ask four presenters to imagine a future where flooding is no longer a disaster, but instead a welcome and even celebrated event. In these versions of the future, flooding would have a vital role. From replenishing much-needed surface water to restoring groundwater and sharing nutrients across the landscape, we would celebrate floods as a crucial part of our dynamic country. Our panel of experts will explore what such a future would look like and how we might get there, starting now. Join us on a journey into the future as we challenge our collective imagination and flip the script on flooding. This is an in-person-only event with limited spots available. A recording will be available afterward. A complimentary light lunch will follow the discussion.| Period | 9 Sept 2022 → … |
