You will hear the latest in climate science research and also how practitioners from around South Australia are working at the local level to determine the best response for their region.

The expert panel:

- Roger B Street from the UK Climate Impacts Programme at Oxford University (UKCIP)
Roger is a leading international adaptation expert and will be hosted (via live-feed) from the UK. He leads the technical and scientific work at UKCIP aimed at guiding risk, vulnerability and adaptation assessments.

- Dr Karl Braganza, Director of Climate Monitoring Section, Bureau of Meteorology
Karl's research is centred on understanding climate variability and change using climate modelling, instrumental observations and palaeo-climate evidence.

- Dr Susannah Eliott, CEO, Australian Science Media Centre (AusSMC)
The AusSMC works with the news media to inject more evidence-based science into public discourse.

- Dr Peter Hayman, Principal Scientist in Climate Applications, South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI)
Peter has been recently working on impacts and adaptation to climate change in the irrigated wine grape and low-rainfall grains industries.

- Professor Will Steffen, Climate Council
Peter's research interests span fields of climate and Earth System science, with an emphasis on sustainability and climate change.

- Dr Russell Wise, Sustainability Economist, CSIRO
Russell's work is focussed on understanding the interplay between institutions, values and knowledge to enable communities in Australia and overseas to adapt to climate change.
