The Future in Our Hands: Climate, Legacy and Local Action

This is not just another climate talk. It’s a conversation worth having.

At a time when the climate conversation can feel noisy, confusing, or even paralysing, this event brings together two thoughtful voices, one rooted in science, the other in story, to help us reconnect with what matters and what is possible.

Dr John Price, has spent recent years deep-diving into the science behind our changing climate. In this engaging and interactive session, John will gently challenge us to reflect on:

What kind of problem climate change really is.

Why recent events like Australia’s floods are not just natural disasters.

How we know this is not simply part of a natural cycle.

What it means to be an active citizen in the face of a global issue.

It is about understanding the Earth system, recognising what is already happening, and reclaiming our agency in a world that needs informed and capable people.

Kevin Ahearn, timber craftsman and environmental historian, brings a grounded and local lens, reminding us that legacy is not just what we leave behind, it is what we build now. Through stories of land, craft, and resilience, Kevin makes these big ideas feel real and human.

Together, John and Kevin will lead an open, evolving conversation, where questions are welcome, curiosity is celebrated, and everyone is invited to learn.
