Climate change is predicted to lead to a net decrease in food production, globally. Tropical zones will move from optimal growing conditions into extreme and prolonged summer temperatures. This will cause drops in productivity in areas where the bulk of malnourished people live. Growing seasons will likely get longer in temperate zones as climate warms but any gains will likely be offset by extreme weather events like drought, flood and bushfire. More species are documented as ‘on the move’ due to these changing climatic conditions, many are vital to our food security.

Meet our panel of experts and discover the implications of food on the move for Tasmania and beyond. Join and explore how our communities can adapt to secure a sustainable food future.

Dr Liz Boulton recently completed a transdisciplinary research project investigating the idea of framing climate and environmental change (CEC) as a new type of threat: a hyperthreat.

She applied traditional military analytical methods to assess the hyperthreat and its context and develop ideas about how an adequate response could be conceived.

She found that while there are risks associated with securitization, there are also risks when planetary issues are marginalised within security strategy. In this forum, Dr Boulton will provide an overview of the approach, key analytical insights, and will introduce PLAN E – a concept for a climate and ecologically centred security strategy.

Elizabeth G. Boulton’s professional career began as a transport officer in the Australian Army, deploying to East Timor in 1999 and Iraq in 2004. As a civilian, she undertook logistics and humanitarian work in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sudan. In 2007 she completed a masters of climate policy at the University of Melbourne with a focus on sustainable freight transport, later consulting in this area for government agencies, as well as in climate risk communication.

She completed her PhD at the Australian National University in 2020. Her research developed ‘PLAN E’ – the world’s first climate and eco-centred security strategy, published by the US Marine Corps University Press in 2022. She is now an independent researcher with Destination Safe Earth.

Lecture Three in a Three-Part Series: “Moving the Law: Contemporary Legal Advocacy and Social Change” hosted during GCCW.

Overview: Climate change, disasters and environmental degradation are among the leading drivers of human mobility worldwide, and predicted to increase. Effective laws and policies are critical to ensuring that those who move can access protection and have their rights guaranteed. Yet, international law provides no comprehensive framework to address this issue. I

In this lecture, Tamara Wood and Patrick O'Connor will discuss the opportunities and challenges for addressing climate mobility under existing international, regional and national laws. They will explore the potential and limitations of refugee protection and resettlement programs, and discuss current initiatives by governments in the Asia-Pacific and beyond to develop new solutions to climate mobility.

Dr Tamara Wood is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, University of Tasmania, and a Visiting Fellow at the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, UNSW. She is currently the Deputy Lead for a technical consulting team supporting the Pacific Islands Forum (PIFs) to draft a ‘world first’ Regional Framework on Climate Mobility.

Patrick O’Connor is the Principal Lawyer and CEO of the Tasmanian Refugee Legal Service. Patrick has extensive experience in domestic refugee and human rights law and represents clients at all stages of the immigration process.

The air we breathe, the water we drink and the food systems we rely on are fundamental to human health—and all of these rely on a stable climate.

However, in Tasmania as elsewhere, warming temperatures are already impacting air quality, the affordability of some foods, hospital admissions during extreme weather events, and our mental health.

At the same time, research suggests that a low carbon future is a healthier future: A future with more active transport, healthier diets, smarter housing design, and more connected communities.

So how can we best manage climate health risks and make the most of the health benefits of a low carbon future?

To answer these questions, we have assembled an excellent list of speakers:

Professor Fay Johnston -Climate change and air quality

Dr Sharon Campbell - Extreme weather and health

Professor Alana Mann - Climate change and food security

A/Professor Verity Cleland- Active transport

Dr Rebecca Patrick - Climate change and mental health

Ms Sophie Muller - Healthy Tasmania Five-Year Strategic Plan 2022–2026

In 2018 researchers from the Corvinus University of Budapest started a unique co-operation with an independent art-troupe in order to deepen the understanding of research results through a different perspective and to communicate results towards a wider audience. The original research used the method of participatory backcasting in Hungary in 2016 on the topic of responsible and sustainable business. The endeavour with the art troupe turned research results into a theatre adventure game (TAG). The resulting 'Future & Co.' was staged multiple times with success. However, being a highly resource intensive form, a TAG can only reach a limited number of people. Fuelled by our positive experiences, we began to design a community-based script which could be used as teaching material in tertiary-level economics courses. Community scriptwriting is a process where all forms of knowledge can be incorporated into a story. The resulting storyline of 'Our brave new past' was then turned into an interactive drama session that can be brought into the classrooms of universities. During the Global Climate Week we would like to involve the participants to experience this resulting pedagogical tool on Degrowth, where we get to see what happens to people and societies through the end of consumer society, during the green revolution, and in the times of consolidation. This process enables us to envision real utopias and at the same time learn more about a sustainability transitions.
