SUMMARY:Mapping the Circular Economy of WA – Tour | Talk | Sundowner
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our last event of 2023! \nWe’re excited to host our last event of the year at the Legacy Living Lab (L3) where we will be joined by Roberto Minunno and Josh Hopkins who will be giving us a tour of L3\, its purpose and an insight into the WATCH project – Mapping the circular economy of WA – monitoring the contributions of circularity towards achieving Net Zero: Stage 1. \nWe will finish the event with a sundowner with drinks and nibbles provided. \nThe Legacy Living Lab (L3) is the first building in Western Australia that is both modular and designed for disassembly and reuse. L3 is constructed on recyclable steel footings\, saving 20 tons of concrete. The building is not welded\, glued or fixed\, instead it harnesses nuts and bolts\, spacers and magnets.\nIn three years\, it will be disassembled in a day or two and moved elsewhere. If L3 had been built in a regular fashion\, with end of life going to landfill\, then the greenhouse gas equivalent impact would have been 50 tons. Life cycle assessment for L3 demonstrates only 5 tons of greenhouse gas equivalent impact. Designing for reuse provides a factor 10 environmental improvement. \nRoberto Minunno \nRoberto is a subject matter expert in circular economy and sustainable\, modular building design\, and life cycle assessment. With a background in civil engineering\, Roberto is driven to create solutions to sustainability and circular economy challenges.​ He completed his PhD on the circular economy of buildings at Curtin University\, where\, among other methods\, he developed expertise in applying Life Cycle Assessments and circular economy indicators to products and processes. ​As part of his PhD\, Roberto and the team at Curtin University Sustainable Policy (CUSP) Institute ideated the Legacy Living Lab: a moveable\, disassemble\, modular building\, enabling a deeper understanding and application of the circular economy concerning building materials\, components and operations. The Living Lab is currently in Fremantle where it hosts a hub of research activity and industry collaborations.​ \nJosh Hopkins \nA product and data specialist. His focus is on human-centred digital transformation\, for the betterment of people and the planet. He is also a rese­arch associate at Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute (CUSP)\, European institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) alumni\, TEDx speaker\, and award-winning entrepreneur. He is the Founding Director of Open Corridor\, a data-driven nonprofit focused on democratising sustainability intelligence.\n\nRun Sheet \n4.00pm – Registrations and Networking \n4.30pm – Tour of L3 and insight into WATCH project \n5.00pm – Sundowner\, networking and nibbles \n6.00pm – Event finish

SUMMARY:Circular Economy: Learnings from Europe
DESCRIPTION:Online Webinar – The Gifts of Circularity\nAustralia\, New Zealand and our Asia/Pacific neighbours can learn a great deal from members of the European Union (EU) where the transition towards a circular economy is already underway. This was an obvious takeaway from a recent European Study Tour organised by the Australian Circular Economy Hub and Planet Ark\, which derived significant learnings from the Netherlands\, Sweden\, France and the UK as well as the World Circular Economy Forum in Helsinki\, Finland. \nIn the second webinar of this series\, we are joined by three circular economy practitioners who joined the ACE Hub Study Tour Delegation. Moderated by Planet Ark’s Nicole Garofano\, we will hear from Bronwyn Voyce\, Founder of Civic Futures Lab\, Emily Dunstan\, Chief Growth Officer at Sustainability Victoria and Hayley Jarick\, CEO of the Supply Chain Sustainability School. \nIn this webinar\, our speakers will share their reflections on the strategic policy directions underway in the EU and discuss how education supports circular economy adoption across all businesses\, including SMEs. They will unpack how value-chain collaboration and industrial symbiosis are enabling circular adoption and acceleration. \n\n  \nNicole Garofano is the Head of Circular Economy Development for Planet Ark. Nicole is leading the ongoing strategic development of the Australian Circular Economy Hub. For almost 20 years\, Nicole has worked in environmental education and action with a focus on waste management and a circular economy. \nBronwyn Voyce is the founder of Civic Futures Lab\, an impact lab helping leaders make sense of complexity\, navigate uncertainty\, and deepen their impact in tackling climate change. She works with governments and ASX-listed corporations to accelerate their transition to net zero through ESG strategy development\, policy design and circular program delivery. Bronwyn led the development and delivery of the global first program to divert banned surplus single-use plastics from landfill\, through the “Great Plastic Rescue” diverting over 60\,000 tonnes of obsolete stock from landfill. \nEmily Dunstan is the Chief Growth Officer at Sustainability Victoria. From starting out in zoology and animal behaviour\, Emily has spent over sixteen years working in education\, science communication\, behaviour change and insights\, strategic planning and social impact. Her work has taken her from zoos to schools to humanitarian organisations and finally state government. She loves working out why people do the things they do\, and how we can help our communities take on more pro-environmental action – in ways that make sense to them. The Strategy\, Research and Growth group’s role is to ensure Sustainability Victoria’s programs are future ready\, responsive to emergent trends\, opportunities\, and risks and getting Victoria to an economy that is circular and clean\, as fast as possible. \nHayley Jarick is the Company Secretary and CEO of the Supply Chain Sustainability School Limited\, an Independent Director of ResponsibleSteel\, Chair of Planet Ark’s Australian Circular Economy Hub Procurement Working Group\, and within WWF’s Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders Alliance (MECLA)\, a Project Control Group (PCG) member and Chair of two working groups; steel and knowledge. Hayley completed her MBA at the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) and Bachelor of Commerce\, majoring in International Business and Legal Studies\, at the University of Wollongong\, Australia.  \n

SUMMARY:CSIRO: Sustainability Science Series
DESCRIPTION:How can we drive multiple sustainability outcomes simultaneously? Professor Andy Stirling and discussants\nRequired shifts to a more sustainable society mean working on many fronts at once. This can be overwhelming. There are many potential drivers of change\, just as there are many forms of incumbency and inertia that need to be overcome. This complexity can lead individuals and organisations\, understandably\, to ‘stick to their knitting’ and focus on piecemeal contributions. In turn\, a narrow focus can result in disjointed\, uncoordinated and fractured activities that lead to ‘unintended’ outcomes. Potential examples are numerous: the scaling of a critical minerals industry in Australia could have diverse social\, cultural and environmental consequences\, depending on how it is developed and implemented; the use of the land sector to off-set other sectors creates diverse risks for farming communities and food security; the shift to an electrified urban transport system could have very differing consequences for health and equity depending on which options are prioritised\, by whom. \nNavigating such uncertainties can be usefully aided by linking approaches that work in different ways to steer outcomes. This is the argument of our guest speaker\, Professor Andy Stirling. With his colleagues\, Andy has explored how different approaches to driving sustainability can be considered together\, and potentially\, operate synergistically. \nIn this talk Andy will provide an overview of these approaches\, how they can be understood and applied synergistically\, and his current thinking and analysis about options for linking structural\, systemic and enabling approaches in different settings. Structural approaches relate to deep changes in the ways consumption and production are governed\, organised and enacted. Systemic approaches focus on interactions and interdependencies across institutions (e.g. policies)\, technologies\, and wider social processes to steer change in complex systems. Enabling approaches focus on people\, their values and goals\, and collective capacities to navigate and act to create preferred futures. \nAndy’s talk will be followed by an engaging\, moderated discussion with leaders in CSIRO and beyond\, to explore the implications and potential to link integrate these approaches in applied work. Our speaker\, discussants and moderator are introduced below. \n\n\nPricing\n\n\nFREE \n\n\n\n\nDates and Times\n\nEvent date:Feb 2024\n\nWednesday 14 Feb 2024\nOnline virtual event \n8.30am to 9.30am AEDT \nLogin details will be emailed to registrants

SUMMARY:Climate Change Academy
DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between Curtin School of Education\, AISWA\, The Climate Academy (Brussels\, Belgium) and News Decoder (France). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event marks the launch of a professional learning series for all teachers and school leaders who are interested in climate change education. \nMatthew Pye (Founder of Climate Academy) is travelling to Perth and will be delivering the presentation in person. As a public speaker\, Matthew has given lectures at the EU Commission\, Cambridge University\, VU Amsterdam\, other leading universities and many international schools. He featured in The Eurasian Media Forum (Kazakhstan\, 2021)\, The NATO Youth Conference (2023)\, and the ZEG Storytelling Festival (Tblisi\, 2023). \nThe aim is to provide an overview of the work of the Climate Academy and to give attending schools the opportunity to sign up for a professional learning series in semester 2 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew Pye is the Founder of The Climate Academy (est. 2011) and has been co-ordinator of Philosophy at the European School Brussels II (since 2007). His book “Plato Tackles Climate Change” (2021) examines the blind-spots of democracy concerning the crisis\, and points forward to the power of the law as a key leverage point for change. “Arendt Tackles Climate Change” (2024) will be out soon.
