Coffee and Climate
The Australian Museum has a firm focus on communicating about climate change in Australia. We want to talk about solutions – and there are so many!
10am - 11.30am
As we approach the festive season, come along to share ideas for travelling with care for our country in mind. From electric vehicles to low-emissions destinations, this session is sure to spark your wanderlust.
Australian science is leading the world in climate solutions, from researching seaweed for reducing the methane cows produce to rapidly increasing the efficiency of solar panels.
Enjoy a coffee, relax in the comfort of the Members lounge and join this open and informed conversation about the good news on climate change with Dr Jenny Newell, curator of the Australian Museum Climate Solutions Centre. Come along for inspiration and camaraderie. Climate change is challenging, but you don’t have to tackle it alone.
