Description
Melbourne faces severe environmental shocks: lack of water, environmental pollution, risings sea levels, climate change. Are we set up to deal with this? Do we have sufficient social capital?

The panel will look at the uncertain impact on Melbourne of current global trends, including peak oil, climate change and global warming, and debate what this will mean for Melbourne. Will rising sea levels impact on the city? How will a hotter climate change our way of life? Will car dependence change? How will we manage energy and water constraints?
