Climate change and disaster displacement disproportionately impact women and girls, especially in Australia and the Pacific, and further increase barriers to safety, security, and rights. UN Women projects that by 2050, climate change may push up to 158 million more women and girls into extreme poverty – 16 million more than men and boys – as climate-driven impacts continue to deepen existing gender inequalities. Australia plays a crucial role in championing women’s leadership and ensuring climate justice is gender justice.

As mandatory climate reporting deadlines loom closer for Group 2 and Group 3 reporting entities captured under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), there is a growing need for support in embedding climate governance, risk, and robust GHG emissions data integrity within thousands of Australian businesses. We see a growing trend in in-house teams attempting to manage the compliance requirements internally, only to discover that technical support and guidance is still required. As a result, this training session is designed at sharing best practice insights and recommendations for meeting all 4 key compliance areas of the AASB S2 standard (climate governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets). This session is designed for organisations who are early-on in their ASRS journey or those who have made a start but are looking for external guidance to understand whether they are on the right track. Attendees will walk away with a roadmap to meet their first year of reporting requirements along with a series of templates and checklists to help prepare internally.
Branded fast food is a $30bn per year industry in Australia and growing 5% annually. Increasingly, communities across the country are mobilising to stop its further expansion because they understand its harmful health and environmental impacts. Many local governments stand with community opposition, but the planning framework is heavily stacked in the industry’s favour. When powerful multinational corporations can and do ride roughshod over what communities want and ignore decisions made by their elected local representatives, we have a serious democratic deficit. The Forum will explore tensions between local councils, communities, and multinational corporations such as McDonald’s, with a focus on the controversial proposal for a new 24/7 Maccas at 323 High St, Northcote, opposed by thousands of local residents. We will explore how planning laws can better protect local character, public health, and democratic decision-making. This will include consideration of legislative reforms aimed at strengthening the power of local government to say 'No' to new fast food applications, specifically by incorporating public health criteria into planning decisions.

To celebrate International Composting Awareness Week, Valoriza and City of Casey are offering a free compost (soil conditioner) collection event to 100 Casey households. Households that book in can collect up to 0.5m3 (half a cubic metre) of soil conditioner. Registered households can bring a ute, trailer, or a car with bags/buckets/trug tubs/whatever works for you, to collect their compost/soil conditioner. Compost/soil conditioner must be collected in one trip (if you can't take the full 0.5m3 in one go, then you forfeit the remainder). Please bring a helper if you can, and a shovel/spade or two to help you load your compost.
To mark David Attenborough's 100th birthday year, join ecologist Dr Jacinta Humphrey for a guided walk along the Elwood Canal. Elster Creek doesn't have the reputation of Melbourne's more celebrated waterways but look closer and it's teeming with life: over 40 bird species, native frogs, short-finned eels making extraordinary ocean migrations, and plants doing quiet ecological work along the canal edges. This walk is a chance to see that biodiversity firsthand and to understand how the choices we make every day in Glen Eira flow directly downstream to this creek and out into Port Phillip Bay. Using the iNaturalist app, participants will photograph and identify species along the route, contributing real observations to the Elster Creek biodiversity record. Every sighting logged becomes part of a living dataset for the corridor. Jacinta will guide identifications and share her expertise in native wildlife in residential and urban environments. This early morning timeslot is prime for birdwatching and amateur wildlife enthusiasts alike.
