Central area leaders discuss climate change

Climate change and us – the impacts and implications was the focus of a day-long forum for 80 regional stakeholders in the Central Local Government Region held in Port Pirie this week.

Speakers tackled issues such as impact of climate change on the region’s primary industries including grain, grape, fishing, grazing and forestry; initiatives for business and community to manage climate change; and the way forward.

The forum was organized by the Central Local Government Region; the Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management Board; the Southern Flinders Ranges, Yorke and Mid North Regional Development Boards.
