正文(英文) | Credit: NASA Earth Observatory Future Earth hosted an introductory national event on 5 June at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. Chaired by Professor Karen Hussy from the University of Queensland, the open forum, Introducing Future Earth Australia, showcased the progress of current initiatives in the region and abroad. Attendees heard from panelists, Professor Tim Smith, Executive Dean for the Faculty of Arts, Business and Law at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), Professor David Hamilton, Deputy Director and Professor at the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University, and Tayanah O’Donnell, Director of Future Earth Australia.
The forum focused on the activities of Future Earth’s global network by bringing together and showcasing three key initiatives: Future Earth Australia, Water Futures, and Future Earth Coasts. Future Earth Australia, led by Tayanah O’Donnell and hosted by the Australian Academy of Science, is a partnership between Australian universities and research institutes and industry, government and civil society, with the goal of advancing sustainability and equality in Australia and the region. Professor David Hamilton shared his vision to link local initiatives with Future Earth’s Water Future programme. His address highlighted the importance of ensuring lakes are included in broader assessments of planetary freshwater resources.
Water Future is a global platform for the facilitation of international scientific collaboration to find solutions to the world’s water problems. Attendees were also updated on the progress of activities undertaken by Future Earth Coasts. Professor Tim Smith highlighted the importance of Future Earth Coasts’ initiatives and reaffirmed the importance of the relationship between people and coastal management, particularly in Australia. “Coasts are the canary in the coal mine, particularly in Australia, where 85% of our population live within 50km of the coast,” he said.
