Day 4 of the @ClimateGriffith "Difficult Conversations" seminar series - "what kind of health risks will climate change bring?" feat. @EliseInTheWoods, @AchiengEO, Prof Kristen Lyons, Dr Shannon Rutherford, & Beny Boi of the QLD African Communities Council #GriffithClimateAction
@ClimateGriffith @EliseInTheWoods @AchiengEO the incredible Dr Esther Onyango @AchiengEO - very often decisions around climate change and health are made by those who aren't affected by the issues #GriffithClimateAction
Shannon Rutherford - the environment has a huge impact on health. Heat is one of the big challenges for us as a community, and we're looking at how digital tech can support older populations during extreme heat events #GriffithClimateAction
And the evening panel is now kicking off! Our incredible panelists, who are chewing on the questions a marvelous group of HDR students worked up this morning, are @SamidSuliman, @FemInt, Rowena Maguire @rosyrosewater, and Lara Kelly

@SamidSuliman @FemInt @rosyrosewater @ClimateGriffith @SamidSuliman draws attention to the politics and uneven availability of movement, and of dwelling. Mobility justice can orient us toward climate justice - this session uses ghost towns as a heuristic to think about movement, place, & people #GriffithClimateAction
@SamidSuliman @FemInt @rosyrosewater @ClimateGriffith So great 2 have brilliant catchment expert Lara Kelly here to help us think about watery mobilities, the role water plays in shaping mobilities & the viability of places for certain lifeways. Too much/too little water lies behind much climate displacement #GriffithClimateAction
Kicking off day 3 of the @ClimateGriffith workshopping the question 'will australia end up with ghost towns?' public forum on this tonight at SLQ! Thinking about transitions, retreats, settler-colonial imaginaries and practices, migration & diaspora

whoops forgot to tag our fearless leader, the brilliant @SamidSuliman
Just gotta tweet this while it's fresh - @SamidSuliman
talking about 'ghost postcodes' that become unviable for human settlement, and the "the prospective economies of abandonment", and how decision makers are "ghosting" vulnerable and exposed populations #GriffithClimateAction

@FemInt - there are already significant discrepancies in the kinds of insurance products available (both in terms of options and costs). Brisbane has more options and lower costs than Cairns, folks on some islands have no options at all #GriffithClimateAction #insurance
@FemInt I'm wondering about the responsibility of local governments and planners in this - approving developments in areas that are likely to rapidly become uninsurable? #GriffithClimateAction #COP26
@FemInt Great to be hearing from Lucy Graham from @cafnec, reminding us that this conversation about insurance slides into quick irrelevancy if we stay on the (woefully irresponsible) mitigation pathway we're currently on #GriffithClimateAction #COP26 #ScottMorrison
Listening to Prof Botzen & thinking about insurance & climate justice, I'm wondering about the impacts of disasters on renters, who are far less likely to have adequate, or any insurance, and whose homes are usually the last to be repaired #GriffithClimateAction @GriffithClimate
Also, I'm wondering about the increased risk of uninsured losses faced by low income and racialised people face due to climate change, given they are already more likely to be underinsured (due to discriminatory practices e.g. insurance redlining) #GriffithClimateAction
Of course @FemInt is on it, asking Prof Botzen about how renters can be protected in a context where they are un/der insured and cannot expect landlords to undertake risk mitigation. Botzen suggests the answer is in building regulations & minimum standards #GriffithClimateAction

@ClimateGriffith I'm gonna do my best to live tweet, but it's freely streamable so that's your best bet #GriffithClimateAction #climatechange #COP26
Kicking things off on Day 2, the inimitable @FemInt is talking to us about the Deep Listening tour she and @EliseInTheWoods went on in Mt Isa earlier this year #climatechange #griffithclimateaction #COP26
