CLIMATE change is a hot issue at the moment and a forum to provide  
information to the community is on in Inverell on March 28. 
 
GWYMAC Landcare has organised the event, which will allow participants to  
discuss practical solutions to the threat of climate change.  
The forum will be divided into three sessions, the first is a general  
background on climate change, the second solutions on what can be done at home,  on 
the farm and urban design and the final session will focus on emerging  
opportunities. New England MP Tony Windsor is opening the forum.  
Guest speakers include Ken McLeod from The Ethos Foundation who will  
highlight the challenges faced in the future, Lynette Bourne from the Department  of 
Environment and Climate Change who will give advice on what can be done in  
the home, Alan Lauder will give a farmer’s point of view on carbon grazing and  
reducing methane emissions in cattle, climatologist Sarah Hall will cover  
building sustainable communities, Ben Keogh from Landcare Australia will present  
CarbonSmart and financial incentives for private landholders, Southern Cross  
University lecturer Dr Jeff Parr will discuss soil carbon sequestration and  
agricultural opportunities and Andrew Burnard from the Department of Water and 
 Energy is speaking on biochar, biodiesel and bioenergy.  
At the end of the sessions, there will be an open forum involving all the  
guest speakers.
