Join prominent Australian academic and scholar Clive Hamilton, Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra, and 2024 Young South Australian of the Year Tiahni Adamson as they discuss Clive’s latest book: Living Hot

Living Hot tells the blunt truth about our current climate change predicament: it’s time to get cracking on making Australia resilient to intensifying climate extremes. If we prepare well, we can give ourselves a fighting chance to preserve some of the best of what we have, build stronger and fairer communities, find a path through the escalating pressures of a warming world – and even find new ways to flourish.

Tues, 22nd Oct, 6-7.30pm

Adelaide University, North Terrace (Napier G03 Lecture Theatre)

This event is supported by the Don Dunstan Foundation, a thought leadership organisation that aims to inspire action for a fairer world, building on the legacy of the late Don Dunstan.

We urgently need a sustained national conversation – as well as many local conversations – about where we live and how we live as the Earth takes us way outside our comfort zones. We need to talk about the threats, risks and likely changes to living conditions and the kinds of communities, economies and living spaces that best suit the needs of Australians and our natural environment in increasingly stressful times. Who knows, we may even create communities and a society more cohesive, considerate and fair.
