Lesley King, Manager Regional Drought Resilience - Department of Premier and Cabinet

Collaborative strategy gained from local knowledge for Tasmania's Regional Drought Resilience Planning

Lesley King presents Tasmania’s drought risk and resilience data analysis with key information about the prevalence, severity and impacts of drought of the past; into the future and an understanding what are the vulnerabilities, where are the gaps in preparedness, and what's the adaptive capacity for drought and other related transitions that are related to a changing climate.

Lesley will also provide information about the regional drought resilience planning process and an invitation to collaborate with industry, government and community to provide local knowledge and perspectives to build on the landscape scale evidence base of drought risk and resilience for the identification and development of each region’s economic, environmental, and social resilience capacity.
