Join Hothouse at the Climate Adaptation Fair on Sat 8 Feb

We’re joining the Friends of Earth Melbourne community for a day of connection and conversation with over 20 organisations gathering to share their work around the theme of climate adaptation and community resilience.

Look out for the Art Disrupt stall and stop by for a chat.

How can we build resilient communities and face climate impacts collectively? Join us at @Friends of the Earth Melbourne’s Climate Adaptation Fair on 8 Feb at Borderlands Cooperative in Footscray from 10am-4pm to explore what community-led climate adaptation looks like.

There will be panel discussions, stalls, workshops, food, and coffee.

Climate impacts are here now. Come along to find out how we – the people – can keep each other safe and to discover inspiring examples of climate adaptation already happening.

We’ll be there and hope you will too!

There will be panel discussions on: Indigenous-led and community-led adaptation, heat impacts, energy/comms security during disasters, food security, social infrastructure to create resilient communities, and impacts at work.

Workshops on the day include ones on commoning and resilient community organising, climate emotions and collective care, preparing for storm and flood emergencies, as well as an interactive temperature monitoring walk.
