As a mega-diverse continent, Australia is home to hundreds of thousands of species, with more being discovered every year. Despite this, Australia faces one of the highest species extinction rates, meaning that innovative methods to detect and understand our biodiversity are becoming increasingly important.
Advancing technologies like genomics, imaging, ecoaccoustics, camera trapping, artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the way that researchers and policymakers respond to climate risks, species conservation and protection, biosecurity and decision-making. In this webinar hosted by the Atlas of Living Australia, hear from three groups discuss how they’ve used next-generation technology to support Australian biodiversity research.

We are proud to host our annual Economic Summits to recognise current economics in the Mid West and keep the business community up to date and informed with current trends and future forecasts.
The Mid West Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s 2024 Economic Summit, themed “Investing today for tomorrow,” is poised to offer a comprehensive examination of the drivers and announced investments propelling our region’s economic growth. This summit aims to provide a 12-month snapshot, illuminating both current achievements and future prospects.
Building upon reflections from the 2023 Summit, this forum will boldly confront challenges head-on. Industry leaders will scrutinize the existing economic landscape to identify opportunities for leveraging regional assets towards growth. Key areas of emphasis encompass addressing housing construction demands, cultivating the local workforce, navigating immigration dynamics, promoting STEM education, and positioning the Mid West as an attractive residential destination.
Furthermore, the summit will delve into regional strengths, such as diverse economies encompassing resources, rare earths mining and manufacturing, agriculture, aquaculture, technology, innovation, tourism, education, health, and liveability. By focusing on these assets, industry stakeholders can develop strategies to harness regional potential for sustainable growth.
The forum’s central question about the viability of regionally driven solutions is pertinent. Indeed, regional solutions founded on local insights and collaboration can offer tailored responses to unique challenges. By empowering local stakeholders and fostering collaboration, the Mid West can develop resilient strategies that address its specific needs and capitalize on its distinct strengths.

First Nations and Australia’s Energy Transition

Join YEP Perth for a presentation and discussion with leading industry experts on First Nations and Australia’s Energy Transition

Doors open from 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start, at Brookfield Place Tower 2, Conference room 1.
Your ticket includes drinks, pizza and an opportunity to learn and network.
About this topic:
Australia’s energy sector is undergoing a huge transition to reach the goal of having net-zero emissions by 2050. New regulation and policy is being developed by Government to facilitate a rapid transition to renewable energy. Enabling and empowering First Nations to play a key role in this transition goes beyond just social licence issues. Access to, and engagement with, First Nations for renewable energy projects will be essential.
As reported by the First Nations Clean Energy Network, “by including and embedding First Nations as partners in the energy system transition, and the right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) in policy, legislative, project approval and financing systems and processes, we can ensure the transition is fair and just for First Nations, can occur at the pace necessary, will avoid unnecessary legal contestation, and will deliver ongoing mutual cultural, social, economic and environmental benefits to people and country.”
This event will look at how we ensure that First Nations are involved in the energy transition, that their voices are heard, and the benefits are shared.
About this event:
This event will provide a background on First Nations and Australia’s Energy Transition, including topics such as what engagement with First Nations should look like, the options for co-beneficial modelling, indigenous land considerations and FPIC.
Presenting will be:
Emma Garlett, Nyungar-Nyiyaparli-Yamatji Traditional Owner | Director, Garlett Group | Adjunct Professor | Columnist | ESG, Sustainable Mining and First Nations

Details: Transitioning into a leadership role for the first time is a significant milestone in one’s career journey, often marked by excitement, anticipation, and a sense of achievement. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges, requiring individuals to adapt to new responsibilities, expectations, and dynamics within their teams and organisations. This event will shed light on the common hurdles encountered during this transition and strategies to overcome them.
Our panel of speakers will delve into the challenges of becoming a new leader and share their personal career journeys, strategies for improving core leadership skills, establishing goals and utilising feedback effectively.
Many thanks to our venue host, Rio Tinto.
We look forward to seeing you there!
The YMP Perth team.
