This is a Yarra Ranges Council ‘Live it Up’ event, presented by the Eastern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (EAGA). The key note presentation will be by distinguished climate scientist Professor David Karoly who will explore how the climate is changing across Melbourne’s east and the key regional response initiatives for this region.
Professor Karoly is an expert in climate change science and was involved, through several different roles, in the preparation of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released in 2007.
His research is concerned with climate variability and climate change, including greenhouse climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and interannual climate variations due to El Niño Southern Oscillation. Recently, he has been studying the impacts of climate change on weather extremes and their impacts on human and natural systems.
“We are extremely fortunate to have David visit Yarra Ranges and provide this great opportunity to learn more about climate change at a local level”.
