Day 4 of the @ClimateGriffith "Difficult Conversations" seminar series - "what kind of health risks will climate change bring?" feat. @EliseInTheWoods, @AchiengEO, Prof Kristen Lyons, Dr Shannon Rutherford, & Beny Boi of the QLD African Communities Council #GriffithClimateAction

@ClimateGriffith

@ClimateGriffith @EliseInTheWoods @AchiengEO the incredible Dr Esther Onyango @AchiengEO - very often decisions around climate change and health are made by those who aren't affected by the issues #GriffithClimateAction

Shannon Rutherford - the environment has a huge impact on health. Heat is one of the big challenges for us as a community, and we're looking at how digital tech can support older populations during extreme heat events #GriffithClimateAction

@SamidSuliman

@SamidSuliman @FemInt @rosyrosewater @ClimateGriffith @SamidSuliman draws attention to the politics and uneven availability of movement, and of dwelling. Mobility justice can orient us toward climate justice - this session uses ghost towns as a heuristic to think about movement, place, & people #GriffithClimateAction

@SamidSuliman

@SamidSuliman @FemInt @rosyrosewater @ClimateGriffith So great 2 have brilliant catchment expert Lara Kelly here to help us think about watery mobilities, the role water plays in shaping mobilities & the viability of places for certain lifeways. Too much/too little water lies behind much climate displacement #GriffithClimateAction

@FemInt

@FemInt - there are already significant discrepancies in the kinds of insurance products available (both in terms of options and costs). Brisbane has more options and lower costs than Cairns, folks on some islands have no options at all #GriffithClimateAction #insurance

@FemInt

@FemInt I'm wondering about the responsibility of local governments and planners in this - approving developments in areas that are likely to rapidly become uninsurable? #GriffithClimateAction #COP26

@FemInt

@FemInt Great to be hearing from Lucy Graham from @cafnec, reminding us that this conversation about insurance slides into quick irrelevancy if we stay on the (woefully irresponsible) mitigation pathway we're currently on #GriffithClimateAction #COP26 #ScottMorrison

Listening to Prof Botzen & thinking about insurance & climate justice, I'm wondering about the impacts of disasters on renters, who are far less likely to have adequate, or any insurance, and whose homes are usually the last to be repaired #GriffithClimateAction @GriffithClimate

https://twitter.com/DrNatOsborne/status/1455418248720048131

Also, I'm wondering about the increased risk of uninsured losses faced by low income and racialised people face due to climate change, given they are already more likely to be underinsured (due to discriminatory practices e.g. insurance redlining) #GriffithClimateAction

@FemInt

Of course @FemInt is on it, asking Prof Botzen about how renters can be protected in a context where they are un/der insured and cannot expect landlords to undertake risk mitigation. Botzen suggests the answer is in building regulations & minimum standards #GriffithClimateAction

@FemInt

Kicking things off on Day 2, the inimitable @FemInt is talking to us about the Deep Listening tour she and @EliseInTheWoods went on in Mt Isa earlier this year #climatechange #griffithclimateaction #COP26

Just to flesh out the impact of Dan Tehan's terrible proposal to cut students who fail 50% of their courses out of HECS. I've had variations on this conversation many times during my time as a tutor/lecturer - a student has fallen so far behind that, even with every accommodation

I can give them, it is very unlikely or even impossible that they can pass the course. I suggest they drop that course so they can focus on their other classes and whatever else is going on for them (there's always something). They say they know they're going to fail, but they

can't drop the course because they need to stay a FT student in order to get Centrelink. They know they are racking up a big HECS debt, but Centrelink is how they're paying their rent *today*. The HECS debt is a future problem compared to the need to keep a roof over their head
