June 2024 - Victoria & Climate Change
The impacts of human-driven climate change are increasingly visible. Temperature records are being repeatedly broken, extreme weather events are increasing in frequency, ice sheets are melting, and coastal communities increasingly under threat. In this edition, we focus on climate change in our corner of the planet, and what needs to be done to avoid reaching a point of no return.

With research predominately publicly funded in Australia, much of the work and study is focused on scientific advancement, publications, and securing grants – rather than ‘science’ as a commercial product or service. In this edition we look at the intersection of Science & Business, and some of the ways that science and scientists are succeeding in the market.
Victoria is home to a diverse range of environments, which vary based on factors like local climate, water availability, elevation, geology, geomorphology, soils, and others. In turn, these environments are home to different ecosystems, comprising all manner of life that have lived in these niches for centuries. This month, we take a look at some of these different ecosystems, and how we might value and protect them.
