SUMMARY:Online: Public lecture - Linking Land and Geospatial Intelligence for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Land data and knowledgeare currently insufficientto sustainably manage the environment and implement climate actions. CSDILA’s recent work for the World Bank has highlighted the urgent need for interdisciplinary solutions. \n\n\nClimate actions like regeneration\, reforestation and renewable energy targets require land – much of which is already used for other purposes. We need to work together using science to locate optimal places and social science to engage stakeholders from.grassroots movements to government. \nThis panel event will bring together experts in land\, climate and geospatial intelligence to discuss the challenges and opportunities in managing land intelligently\, and engaging with communities as we plan for climate actions and population growth. \nOur panelists and chair: \n\nMark Allen​ – Director Greenline​ – City of Melbourne (MC)\nDr Abbas Rajabifard -The University of Melbourne – Lead Academic\nCraig Sandy – Surveyor General Victoria\nTony Burns – Executive Director\, Founder – Land Equity International Pty Ltd\nSerene Ho – Senior Lecturer – Land Administration

SUMMARY:Online: Bloom at Home: How to Grow Your Own Cut Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that flowers are flown in planes all around the world every single day\, contributing to significant carbon emissions? Despite the beauty they bring\, the majority of flowers for sale in shops around Australia are imported. However\, there’s a shift happening in the floral sector towards sustainability here in Australia\, so flowers are locally grown\, not flown. \nIn this one-hour Master Class session given by sustainable florist Lauren Parisi\, we’ll delve into the changing landscape of the floral industry and explore how you can grow your own arrangement-worthy flowers in your garden all year round. More importantly\, we’ll uncover how you could become part of a movement to relocalize the floral industry\, right in your own backyard. \nDuring this session\, you’ll explore ways to reduce your carbon footprint through gardening your own cut flowers. We’ll discuss: \n– Understanding the environmental impact of the floral industry\, including the carbon emissions and packaging involved in flower imports. \n– Recognizing shifts in the floral industry towards a ‘sow flower movement’ and distinguishing between imported and locally grown flowers. \n– Cultivating sustainable blooms for yourself\, with insights into selecting the right flowers\, along with practical tips and techniques for sustainable gardening\, adaptable to any season or climate. \n– Responsibly sharing your flowers with wildlife like birds and bees through mindful picking \n– Embracing the benefits of supporting local flower growers\, fostering relocalization efforts\, and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient floral industry within your community. \nThis session is one of four in a Masterclass Series “Carbon In Your Garden”. Other topics include – Growing Herbs and Teas\, Edible Weeds – The Most Carbon Saving Food\, Importance of Native Grasses in Your Garden.  Book the Series Package for discount.  Friends of SGA receive a 15% discount on Master Class full price tickets. You can become a Friend of SGA here. Green Garden Professional (GGPs) receive a 30% discount.

SUMMARY:Online: Edible Weeds - The Most Carbon Saving Food
DESCRIPTION:Continuing our “Carbon in the Garden” Series\, is this Master Class session on Edible Weeds.  Weeds are often seen as a nuisance by home gardeners\, but they are actually a valuable\, untapped resource rich in nutrients and minerals. While their deep tap roots can compete with vegetables for soil nutrients and moisture\, they can also be beneficial if used correctly. With minimal help required to grow\, they are the ultimate low carbon food source\, for you and your garden!  It makes you question why we don’t use and eat more of them! \nIn this one hour masterclass given by Teresa Day\, you will learn to identify\, manage and use weeds using an integrated approach that minimizes environmental impact. The session will cover how to utilize weeds as a natural fertilizer and food source\, including: \n– Understanding what constitutes a weed. \n– Exploring the nutrients found in weeds. \n– Techniques for making garden fertilizer from weeds. \n– Enhancing compost with weeds. \n– Using weeds for pest control. \n– Identifying edible weeds and understanding common weed profiles. \nThis session is one of four in a Masterclass Series “Carbon In Your Garden”. Other topics include – Growing Herbs and Teas\, Bloom at Home: Why and How to Grow Your Own Cut Flowers\, Importance of Native Grasses in Your Garden.  Book the Series Package for discount.  Friends of SGA receive a 15% discount on Master Class full price tickets. You can become a Friend of SGA here. Green Garden Professional (GGPs) receive a 30% discount.

SUMMARY:City of Monash: How to help birds in the ‘burbs
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join urban ecologist and postdoctoral researcher Dr Jacinta Humphrey for an important event: Birds in the ‘burbs: How to improve habitat for native birds in urban areas.\nAustralia’s population is steadily increasing\, prompting the need for new houses\, shops and roads. While these developments are important for our community\, they can have a negative impact on the birds that share our suburbs. \nSo\, how do birds respond to urban development and what can we do to better support the more sensitive species? We’ve invited Dr Humphrey to share her findings on what makes a residential street\, parkland\, or suburban garden\, bird-friendly.

SUMMARY:Public lecture- Heat and Health: The latest science\, Professor Kristie Ebi
DESCRIPTION:Heat and Health: The latest science\nThe Climate CATCH Lab\, Melbourne Climate Futures\, Oceania Institute and The University of Melbourne Faculty of Medicine\, Dentistry and Health Sciences warmly invites you to attend the 2024 Miegunyah Distinguished Fellowship Public Lecture\, presented by Professor Kristie Ebi. \nAs global temperature records continue to tumble\, the United Nations has called attention to the ‘extreme heat epidemic’ impacting billions of people worldwide. Climate change-exacerbated temperature extremes present substantial health risks for current and future generations. With Australia facing a summer of potentially deadly heat\, how might we better prepare for and effectively manage the health risks of increasingly intense\, frequent and sustained extreme-heat events? \nIn this public lecture\, internationally renowned epidemiologist\, Professor Kristie Ebi\, will discuss the importance of developing intersectoral policies that explicitly consider and plan for the health impacts of hot weather and heat extremes. While extreme heat is just one example of how climate change is affecting our health\, this lens will illustrate the potential impacts of climate change\, the effectiveness of current adaptation and mitigation policies\, and the range of choices available to manage the health risks posed by a changing climate. \nJoin us for this vital discussion\, followed by light refreshments.
