SUMMARY:CSIRO x BHP - Measuring Nature Outcomes 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking valuable global data for monitoring practices associated with responsible land management \nOver the past decade awareness has grown that organisations must better understand\, manage and report their interactions with nature. While significant progress has been made in developing nature-related reporting frameworks and standards\, a persistent challenge remains: how can organisations use readily available\, open access nature-related data to evaluate outcomes of land management activities in a transparent\, consistent and robust manner? CSIRO and BHP invite you to attend an upcoming webinar exploring our development of a practical and transparent approach to addressing this challenge. \nThe webinar will showcase recent research conducted by CSIRO in collaboration with BHP to advance natural capital measurement\, management and reporting through the development of practical methods. These methods can be applied consistently across industries\, ecosystems and geographies.\nParticipants will hear how the project team have systematically reviewed readily available\, open access global data to assess its use for nature related monitoring and have worked to: \n\ndevelop benchmarks for over 60 variables relevant to terrestrial ecosystem functional groups globally\, providing 2020 baselines for ongoing assessment and monitoring\,\nmap how these variables relate to ecosystem condition typology recommended by SEEA EA\,\ndevelop a Quality Hectare (Qha) index to support the monitoring and assessment of responsible land management practices across geographies and jurisdictions\, and\nrecommend future directions to support broader uptake by industry.\n\nThe webinar is intended to support industry\, regulators\, environmental bodies and the finance sector. It will explore how organisations can use readily available environmental datasets to support the tracking of stewardship outcomes over time in a transparent and globally consistent manner.

SUMMARY:Wild Stories: Communication for Conservation\, Climate and Science [workshop]
DESCRIPTION:Wild Stories: Communication That Moves Decisions\, Not Just Audiences \nYou know the data. You know the urgency. So why does the room still say no? \nConservation\, climate and science have never had a credibility problem – they have a communication problem. The best research in the world dies in any room if it’s delivered the wrong way. \nThis is a hands-on workshop by Shil Shanghavi for conservationists\, climate advocates and scientists who need to influence funders\, boards\, policymakers and the public – and who are tired of watching their great work get overlooked because of how it was delivered.\nThis session will cover: \n\nCommunicating when stakes are high\nBoardrooms\, investor presentations and internal decision forums\nThe science behind confident\, credible communication\nHow the brain processes messages\nStory as a strategic tool

SUMMARY:Building for the future: Designing today's buildings for tomorrow's climate
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s buildings are designed and operated based on weather assumptions from the past\, but what happens when those assumptions no longer hold? The NESP Climate Systems Hub Building for the Future project is tackling this challenge head-on\, developing new future climate files that allow building simulation tools to model how structures will perform under the likely conditions of coming decades\, including under extreme conditions such as heatwaves. This will help us to understand the implications of our future climate for building thermal comfort\, energy use and peak demand. It represents a significant shift for the Australian building simulation industry\, paving the way for more climate-resilient\, efficient and future-ready design. \nThis panel discussion bringing together researchers and practitioners who have been directly involved in co-designing\, co-developing and testing these prototype files.\nYou’ll hear about the motivations underlying the project\, some of the challenges of co-design\, and the learnings from this work\, both for the scientists and for the practitioners. It’s a rare opportunity to hear how climate science is being translated into practical tools for building designers\, building simulation modellers\, assessors and policy-makers. \nThis work is complex problem solving: a chance to rethink how we plan for a changing climate and ensure Australia’s buildings are fit for the future.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC Public Webinar: Decarbonising alumina – AlumiNEXT™ and future pathways
DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a webinar on alumina decarbonisation\, featuring an update on RP1.013 Alumina refineries’ next-generation transition (AlumiNEXT™) Project and a broader discussion of the technologies\, integration challenges and industry priorities shaping the transition to low-carbon alumina.\nAlumiNEXT™ is focused on two major emissions-reduction pathways for alumina refining: achieving low- or zero-emissions steam generation and recovery within the Bayer Process\, and decarbonising calcination through hydrogen\, electrification and other low-carbon heat options. \nA/Prof. Woei Saw (Adelaide University)\, AlumiNEXT™ research leader\, will present a project update\, including recent progress across reactor design\, modelling\, steam recovery\, calcination studies and industry-led integration priorities. Prof. Gus Nathan (Adelaide University and HILT CRC Research Director) will provide a technical perspective on the current status and future of alumina decarbonisation\, considering how emerging technologies can be combined into practical refinery transition pathways. \nFrom an industry perspective\, Emilio Pai (Emirates Global Aluminium) will discuss EGA’s activities and priorities as a producer and user of alumina\, and Marghanita Johnson (CEO\, Australian Aluminium Council) will provide a broader view of the sector’s decarbonisation challenges and opportunities. \nThe session will explore what is technically promising\, what still needs to be de-risked\, and how industry\, researchers and technology providers can work together to bridge the gap to low-carbon alumina processing.

SUMMARY:Report Release: Western Australia’s Resources Sector in Transition
DESCRIPTION:The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre invites you to a special sundowner for the release of our latest report\, Western Australia’s Resources Sector in Transition\nWestern Australia’s economy remains deeply anchored in its resources sector\, with iron ore continuing to underpin exports\, public revenues\, employment and living standards. But the global operating environment is shifting rapidly. Decarbonisation\, technological disruption and geopolitical fragmentation are reshaping resource-based economies worldwide. \nThis new Focus on Industry report examines how WA’s resources sector is adapting to these pressures\, and what this means for economic diversification\, fiscal sustainability and long-term prosperity. While the sector remains a source of strength\, it also faces growing structural pressures\, including rising costs\, infrastructure constraints\, concentrated supply chains and exposure to volatile global markets. The report also assesses the opportunities – and limits – of downstream processing\, critical minerals and low-emissions industries.
