Darwin Living Lab Symposium 2023: Sharing knowledge of best practice for climate adaptation and improving liveability across northern Australia

Darwin Living Lab Symposium 2022

Overview

The focus of the 2023 Darwin Living Lab Symposium is to share knowledge of best practice examples of heat mitigation and innovative approaches to cooling and improving liveability in cities and regions from across northern Australia.

Northern Australia encompasses a diverse range of climate zones, settlement types and cultural contexts. However, capturing and sharing knowledge across these diverse contexts on innovative approaches to addressing liveability challenges and responding to climate change risks can help to identify opportunities for improved approaches that can be adapted to the local context.

Exploring Darwin challenges in detail

The Symposium will also seek participant input and local knowledge on the latest city-wide data for Darwin relating to key challenges in sustainability, liveability and resilience:

1. Reducing the urban heat island
2. Creating healthy outdoor environments
3. Water for cooling the city
4. Sustainability, towards net-zero
5. Improved indoor liveability.

More information

A detailed program for the Symposium with keynote speakers and session details will be available in coming months on the Darwin Living Lab website.

The Darwin Living Lab was established to foster improvements in the liveability, sustainability and resilience of the city. The Darwin Living Lab is an initiative under the Darwin City Deal and is a 10-year collaboration between CSIRO and the partners of the Darwin City Deal: Australian Government, Northern Territory Government and the City of Darwin.
