Who should govern environmental disasters, and how?
As global warming rapidly heats up our planet, the likelihood and frequency of environmental disasters caused by extreme weather events – from bushfires to floods – rises substantially. As part of the Environmental Disasters Symposium, organised by Professor Susan Park, this Sydney Ideas event brings together scholars working on environmental disasters from a range of disciplines, issue areas, and countries to grapple with critical questions. What we need to do to govern such disasters effectively? Who should govern environmental disasters and how?

• Postdoctoral Fellow Francisco Molina Camacho, CIGIDEN
• (Chair) Professor Abbas El-Zein, University of Sydney
