On 23 November, Robert Kay and Carmen Elrick from CZM attended the EIANZ Climate Change Leadership Forum, held at the University of Western Australia. Officially opened by John Braid, WA's EIANZ President, the forum included diverse speakers and presentations about climate change adaptation, mitigation and compliance.

Robert presented a thought-provoking reflection on applying adaptive leadership in climate change, while Carmen spoke about protecting coastal infrastructure assets.

"It was great to be invited to present at the forum and to catch up with colleagues we have not seen for years" Robert commented.

"It was also the first time I heard Naomi Oreskes speak as the keynote speaker, where she summarised her recent book the Merchants of Doubt. I was so inspired that I bought the book during the lunch break and have been unable to put it down."

Carmen added that the day was informative and very enjoyable. "EIANZ pulled together a great conference, full credit to the organisers."

Naomi's presentation, along with those of other presenter have been published on the conference website.
