In 2010, the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law and the Institute for Sustainable Solutions at the University of Sydney join forces to present a ground breaking conference entitled Resilience and Climate Change: Law’s Response?

Scientific and economic perspectives of Australia’s resilience to climate change will be offered, while the capacity of Australia’s current environmental legislation to respond to the resilience challenge will be questioned. Government representatives will explain recent policy and legislative responses to build resilience to the impacts of climate change.

The specific focus of this conference is Australia’s biodiversity, water, coasts and cities. This conference should be attended by lawyers, academics, policy-makers, consultants, non-government organisations and anyone else who is interested in Australia’s resilience to climate change. Presenters at the conference are drawn from universities, government departments, and the CSIRO and include some of Australia’s key thinkers on the question of resilience and climate change.

Solid State Lighting: The future lighting technology that is more sustainable, responsible and economical.

Australia has officially outlawed the sale of incandescent light bulbs this year to advance the use of energy efficient and eco-friendly lighting technologies. Within three years, most developed countries around the world will follow suit in Australia’s footsteps. The existing replacement strategy is based on compact fluorescence lighting technology, which will deliver considerable savings. It is expected to save around 30 terawatt hours of electricity and 28 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to taking more than 500,000 cars off the road permanently. This is still possibly not enough!

Exciting breakthroughs in photonics and semiconductor research have been recently exploited to develop a new type of light emitter. At the heart of these innovative light emitting diode (LED) devices is a small piece of man-made nanostructured semiconductor which can be electrically driven to produce an extremely bright source of light.
