Substandard housing combines with energy insecurity to produce dangerously hot and often overcrowded living conditions in remote Northern Territory communities. Climate change is set to amplify this problem unless we act now.

Join us for a welcome address and discussion as our panel members share their lived experience and expertise on the health effects of climate change. They'll discuss the impact that housing has on driving health and social inequality, and how we can protect human health through the design and build of homes, resilient to climate shock.
