Climate Change Risk Foundations

This workshop will build your confidence in tackling climate change risks faced by the State

Overview

Climate change affects all Victorians. As public sector organisations, we need to consider these risks that impact our agency and our community.

We’re aware that climate change brings greater challenges to the State so we’ve partnered with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA)(opens in a new window) to launch a climate change risk management program.

In this workshop, you’ll explore risks known to the State and approaches to apply your organisation’s risk framework to better manage these risks. Your agency’s involvement will support the State’s initiatives to manage the impacts of climate change.

Together with Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA)(opens in a new window) we’ve created a set of resources for addressing climate change risks.

These guides aren’t a prerequisite/pre-reading for workshop attendance.

Session duration is 2 hours.

When an event has a wide date range (e.g. 1 Jan - 31 Dec) rather than a specific day, it means the event will be scheduled when there are enough participants.

You can register your interest for that event, by going to the event page and clicking on the button Expression of interest at the bottom of the event page. You will be joining the waiting list and we will notify you once the training is available.
