Darwin Living Lab Webinar – Enabling a more liveable, resilient and sustainable Darwin through effective financing

Darwin, like other Australian cities, is faced with a need to transition to a more sustainable, less resource intensive and net zero emissions future, and to build improved resilience to cope with disasters such as extreme heat, fire, storms, floods and cyclones. Due to the need for action on climate, finding ways to accelerate this change are being explored, including the development of strategies, setting of targets and place-based initiatives to build adaptive capacity for change.

This webinar will focus on levers and mechanisms available to enable investment and action in projects /initiatives that progress sustainability and resilience objectives through improved systems- and values-based analyses of complex and uncertain problems and identification of options for systemic risk mitigation opportunities for value creation through investments in resilience. Presentations will share and explore the experiences and perspectives of community, research, and the NT government on place-based scalable adaptation and DRR with a particular emphasis on how to support and build effective cases for investment across these diverse sets of stakeholders and spatial scales that deliver positive outcomes for liveability, sustainability and resilience.
