Global wildfire resilience: Australia’s journey and what it could mean for the U.S.A.

The 2019–2020 Australian wildfire season, also called the Black Summer, devastated the country and released over 700 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the process. What can Australia’s experience and response teach the U.S.A. and other countries about climate resilience? 

In this free webinar, hosted by the Milliman Climate Resilience Initiative, Michael Wara, Director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, and Dominique Hogan-Doran SC, Senior Counsel Assisting Australia’s Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements, will discuss Australia’s national cross-disciplinary panel to improve the country’s resilience efforts in the face of increasing climate risk.
