Webinar: Preparing for a more volatile future
2026-02-19 13:00 - 14:00 UTC
Details
Across Australia, devastating bushfires, floods, a marine heatwave and enormous harmful algal bloom are affecting communities and wildlife. While natural disasters have long shaped this country, climate change is increasing their frequency and intensity, creating a more volatile future.

What does it take to prepare for a future shaped by more frequent disasters and a changing climate – and build resilience for people and nature?

In this interactive webinar, experts will share practical insights on what the future holds and how Australia can strengthen disaster readiness and response – drawing on lessons from events such as bushfires and marine heatwaves – while also addressing the often-overlooked mental health impacts of these events.

The webinar will include a Q&A session.
