Sharing knowledge of best practice for climate adaptation and improving liveability across northern Australia
Overview
The Darwin Living Lab Symposium was held on Thursday 27 July 2023 at the George Brown Botanic Gardens
The focus of the 2023 Darwin Living Lab Symposium program was to share knowledge of best practice examples of heat mitigation and innovative approaches to cooling and improving liveability in cities and regions from across northern Australia.
Northern Australia encompasses a diverse range of climate zones, settlement types and cultural contexts. However, capturing and sharing knowledge across these diverse contexts on innovative approaches to addressing liveability challenges and responding to climate change risks can help to identify opportunities for improved approaches that can be adapted to the local context.
Exploring Darwin challenges in detail
The Symposium sought participant input and local knowledge on the latest city-wide data for Darwin relating to key challenges in sustainability, liveability and resilience:
