SUMMARY:Four years of Dutch-Australian water management collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Since 2012 a series of collaboration activities have been underway in the water management and flood risk management arena.    The 2011 floods in Queensland triggered an initial interest to provide some shared Dutch experiences and from this other topics and opportunities have been developed. \nA mix of Dutch groups – Deltares\, HydroLogic\,  Royal HaskoningDHV Australia\, Dutch Water Challenge and UNSECO-IHE have worked on a suite of projects with Australian partners.  Also alongside the groups\, the Queensland based Flood Community of Practice have been active providing a suite of engaging events on aspects of flood and water management that builds on the joint experiences and skills of the 2 countries. \nAt this forum on Monday 10 October  – short presentations of the activities will be presented\, along with insights on the lessons learnt from the collaboration and future opportunities that would like to be considered.  Also plenty of time for questions and discussion. \nEntry to the Exhibition Hall is free and on conclusion of the forum you are invited to join for some refreshments at the Netherlands Water Pavilion. Please register for the event below and sign in at the front desk upon your arrival. You will not be required to present a ticket. \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Hacks for Sustainability - Help hack the Queensland Government’s climate change policy…
DESCRIPTION:Let’s face it: climate change policy at all levels of government has struggled. It’s fraught\, deeply divided and probably won’t save us from 2 degrees of global warming\, which itself is probably disastrous. Maybe governments can’t solve this problem? Can we do better? \nThe Queensland Government released a discussion paper on climate change\, which is open for comment until August 5th. This unofficial gathering of professionals and interested people will deconstruct how Queensland\, as a state\, a people\, or as a place to do business\, can reduce climate impacts and adapt to climate changes\, in a way that doesn’t depend on the politics of the government of the day. We’ll search for a few creative\, cut-through\, design solutions that can stick. \nA ‘hack’ in this context is ‘A clever solution to a tricky problem.’ This hack session is— \n\nNot official\nNot endorsed\, aligned or sponsored\nNot political\nAt least mildly anti-establishment and hopefully entertaining.\n\nThe Flood Community of Practice is keen to partner with this open event\, free attendance\, but RSVP essential by June 19th to: Scott Losee\, scott@loseeconsulting.com.au
