Why we need you
Why we need you
Risk is the interaction between the cause and the asset
You know your assets best and the local context of your council. It is important that your insight be used to rate the risks for your council.
Cross discipline participation
There will be many people with different backgrounds in the workshop.
This is important to understand the interrelationship between social, economic and environmental impacts.
This way we can learn from each other.
So....what you can do before the workshop
...apart from looking at this pretty sunset
Think about the assets that you are involved with in your day to day work
Think about how climate risks may interact with these assets
Review the risk registers that have been circulated prior
And we look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
