Conservation Council ACT Region

Back by popular demand!

Given the popularity of our first On the Edge screening in May, we have decided to host a second screening!

The city of Canberra stands at a crossroads: do we continue to sprawl forever outwards or do we draw a line and challenge ourselves to develop sustainably, in harmony with nature and in connection with one another?

Join us for a screening of On the Edge a film by Trent Houssenloge of Cowboy Hat Films in collaboration with the Conservation Council ACT Region on the future of the city of Canberra.

The screening will be followed by a panel featuring Trent and special guests to delve further into the question of sustainable development, what’s at stake, and how we can work together to enact change.

2nd Screening: On the Edge The premiere screening of "On the Edge" a film from Trent Houssenloge of Cowboy Hat Films in collaboration with the Conservation Council ACT Region.

Join us next Tuesday for the next Impact Hour. This month features Mark Howden, talking about Climate Reality and Climate Hope.

Globally, climate action is still falling far short of what is needed — and the consequences are becoming increasingly visible through intensifying heatwaves, fires, floods and other climate impacts. But alongside the challenges, there are also genuine reasons for optimism.

In this timely and engaging talk, Mark will explore where the world is heading under current emissions trajectories, what this means for Australia and the ACT, and the practical opportunities still available to avoid the worst outcomes. Drawing on decades of work at the forefront of climate science and policy, Mark will discuss both the sobering realities of climate change and the encouraging progress already underway — from renewable energy transitions and electric vehicle uptake to climate adaptation and emissions reduction initiatives.
