Drought Resilience Conference 2025, VIC Hub: Geelong

As climates warm and become more variable, the frequency and severity of droughts and other climatic events are increasing. In this context, increasing the ability of economies, ecosystems and communities to become more resilient to droughts has never been more important. While traditional and novel approaches are being adopted to prepare for, predict, respond to and recover from droughts when they do occur, sharing insights and approaches across disciplines has the potential to result in innovative, high-quality research leading to practical and effective outcomes with real-world impact.

Hosted by the Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption & Innovation Hub at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus in Geelong, Drought Resilience 2025 will also launch the Drought Resilience Interdisciplinary Network, DRI-Net, and will explore key broad interdisciplinary themes around drought resilience to encourage collaboration among research disciplines.
